Craving pasta but also wanting something on the lighter side? This recipe is light, delicious, and unique! I got the pesto recipe from my cousin Tina, and have been obsessed ever since. This is such a simple one and only takes 15 minutes total
What you need:
Pesto sauce - 1 cup of olive oil, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 clove of garlic, 2 cups of basil, 1 cup of spinach, 2 cups of kale, 3 tablespoons of pine nuts, salt and pepper to taste.
1 box of whole wheat angel hair pasta
1 box of cherry tomatoes
4 Trader Joe’s sweet Chicken apple sausages
Fresh mozzarella or burrata
Balsamic glaze topping optional
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a blender and blend until at desired consistency. Set aside.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half and roast in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees
Set sausage on the same pan as tomatoes and cook in the oven at the same time
Dice up mozzarella into small cubes or if using burrata cut ball in half for portions
Combine pasta and the pesto sauce until evenly distributed.
Serve with tomatoes and mozzarella on top, and top with balsamic glaze
Add a side of chicken apple sausage and enjoy!
So good and so easy!!
