Caprese Pasta

Recipe by Chef Allie’s Kitchen
Ingredients
  • 4 oz fusilli pasta
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon flavoring
  • 2 Cups reserved pasta water
  • 2 Gilbert's Caprese Chicken Sausages
  • 1 Pint roasted grape tomatoes
  • 6 Garlic cloves, roasted
  • Avocado oil spray to lightly coat tomatoes & garlic
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Cup frozen spinach use 2 cups if fresh
  • 1/4 cup pesto
  • 1 oz. Fresh part skim mozzarella
  • Fresh lemon zest & juice to garnish
  • Fresh basil to garnish
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. First roast your tomatoes and garlic. I had already had them done so I didn't need to do this step. Set oven to 400. Place tomatoes and garlic cloves on a parchment lined sheet pan. Spray lightly with avocado oil and season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning
  2. Now it's time to cook the pasta according to the package. While pasta is cooking reserve 2 cups of the pasta water right before you are about to strain
  3. Set pasta aside
  4. Slice up the chicken sausages and place into a pan lightly coated with cooking spray. Brown lightly
  5. Add the spinach, tomatoes, garlic and pasta
  6. Slowly add the pasta water to thicken up a sauce. A nice sauce will be created from the pasta water and the juices from the roasted tomatoes.
  7. Season to taste with salt and pepper
  8. Garnish with the fresh mozzarella and fresh basil
