Spaghetti With Chicken Sausage Spinach And Grape Tomatoes Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN SAUSAGE PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place large pot of water on to boil. You will cook the pasta while preparing the rest.
• Slice the chicken sausages into roughly 1/2 inch pieces.
• Place large deep skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil, sausages, garlic and oregano. Toss and saute for a minute.
• Add the zest of 1/2 a lemon. Stir it in.
• Now toss in the olives and tomatoes. Stir occasionally while cooking, until the tomatoes are starting to blister and a couple have split. The sausage should be browned by this point as well.
• Dump in the spinach. Mix in. Turn off the stove burner.
• Add the drained pasta and toss well to coat.
• Transfer from pan to serving platter and sprinkle with feta. Serve with fresh ground pepper and wedges of lemon.

TOMATO SPINACH CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, drained from sun-dried tomatoes, to a large skillet, on medium-low heat.
• Add chopped chicken. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and prefer to use them, but you can use chopped chicken breast, as well.
• Add red pepper flakes, and salt over all of the ingredients in the skillet.
• Cook on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
• Add chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh basil leaves, fresh spinach, and chopped garlic to the skillet with chicken. Cook on medium heat for about 3- 5 minutes until spinach wilts just a little, and tomatoes release some of their juices. Remove from heat.
• Taste, and add more salt to taste, if needed. Cover with lid and keep off heat.
• Cook pasta according to package instructions, until al dente.
• Drain. Add cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
• Reheat on low heat, mix everything well, add more seasonings (salt and pepper), if desired. Remove from heat.
• At this point, when the pasta and vegetables are off heat, you can add more high-quality olive oil. It's optional but really tasty! Or you can add more olive oil from the jar from the sun-dried tomatoes.

SPAGHETTI WITH CHICKEN SAUSAGE, SPINACH, AND GRAPE TOMATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for spaghetti. Cook according to package al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the pasta water before draining.
• Meanwhile, In large deep saute pan or skillet (large enough to hold cooked pasta with sauce) add 1 tbs. olive oil and chicken sausage (season with a pinch of salt). Saute sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking up with a spoon as it cooks.
• When sausage are browned, add garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and chicken bouillon cubes, cook for 2 minutes stirring a few times. Add tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes then add 1/4 cup olive oil, butter, and reserved pasta water.
• Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer, let cook for about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, cook for 1 minute just until it starts to wilt.
• Remove from heat, and add the cooked spaghetti. Toss well to combine.
