Brian's Chicken Sausage Pesto Pasta image

A kid-friendly but still sophisticated pasta dish with chicken sausage. Can easily be modified to your liking. We used a mixture of pastas (penne, farfalle, rotini) because 2-year-old Brian mixed the boxes together!

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14.5 ounce) package penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound fresh chicken sausage, casings removed
⅓ cup diced onion
1 tablespoon pesto
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes in juice
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken sausage and onion. Cook until chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and mix in pesto. Add tomatoes with juice and chicken broth. Simmer sauce until slightly reduced, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour cream into the sauce. Simmer until reduced to your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sauce into the pot of cooked penne. Mix thoroughly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese to your liking.

This pasta dish was amazing! The pesto sauce was so creamy and flavorful, and the chicken sausage added a nice savory touch. I will definitely be making this again.

Overall, this dish was pretty good. I would have liked it more if the pesto sauce had been made with fresh basil.

This recipe was a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try a different pesto sauce next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken sausage.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes, and it was still delicious.
