Chicken Sausage, Broccoli, and Red Peppers Pasta

I decided to try the Johnsonville chicken sausage that I've seen at the store because I had $1.50 off coupon. So how could I pass it up? I decided that I would try it with some bowtie pasta, along with some red peppers (a favorite of mine) and broccoli. I also paired it with another favorite of mine...alfredo sauce. I really liked this dish and thought it was the perfect combination of ingredients.

Now, I can't say this creation was all my idea...the picture on the front did have red peppers and broccoli on it, I just added the alfredo sauce.

I forgot to take photos as I went, so I just have one of the finished project.



Recipe:
2 c of bowtie pasta (or any pasta of your choice)
2 c of broccoli (I used the frozen kind)
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1/2 a jar of alfredo sauce (more or less, depending on your liking)
1 package of Johnsville Three Cheese Italian Chicken Sausage, cooked and sliced


  1. Cook pasta in a large pan. As pasta is cooking, cook sausage according to directions on package. When the sausage is done, let it cool and then slice.
  2. Slice bell pepper and cook broccoli half way (I used the frozen steamer kind, and cooked for 4 minutes, so it wouldn't get soggy).
  3. When pasta is done, drain.  Add a little olive oil to the pan and cook peppers for 1 minute to soften pepper. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, until ingredients are well mixed and warmed.
  4. Enjoy!
