Pasta with sausage and cherry tomatoes is a quick first course, suitable for any time of the year 🙂
This morning I went to the butcher to buy some meat to prepare for today’s lunch and while looking at the display, I was drawn to the chicken sausage.
Maybe because I had never noticed it before, so I bought it to try it out 😉
Chicken sausage contains less fat than pork sausage and has a delicate flavor.
As soon as I got home, I dedicated myself to preparing lunch.
As a second course, I already knew what to cook: fennel meatloaf, while for the first course I wanted to try chicken sausage with pasta.
I had some bow-tie pasta, cherry tomatoes, and light Philadelphia cheese.
These are all ingredients I used to prepare a creamy first course to die for.
Pasta with sausage and cherry tomatoes is a complete first course if you make generous portions, and those who prefer can also deglaze with white wine.
P.S.: I recommend trying a side dish with sausages and two other creamy first courses:
