Caprese Pesto Pasta Skillet

Caprese Pesto Pasta Skillet

The perfect pasta for a busy weeknight.

Ingredients
  • 1 box or bag (1 lb) pasta of choice
  • A few drizzles of olive oil as needed
  • Approx. 1 cup of pre-made pesto (more or less depending on taste preference)
  • 3 to 4 links of Gilbert’s Caprese Chicken Sausage (coined as shown)
  • A few handfuls of spinach or other greens
  • Optional: seasonings as desired and fresh basil leaves
Instructions
  • Cook pasta per package instructions. Once done drain, drizzle with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
  • Next, in a large skillet, over medium-high heat saute coined sausages until browned and warmed through. Then remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet (now empty and temperature turned to medium-low) add in your cooked pasta and pesto, stirring to coat noodles.
  • Next, to the skillet add your spinach/greens and mix into pasta allowing the leaves to wilt, etc. as shown.
  • Return cooked sausage to the skillet, carefully mixing to incorporate with the rest of the dish.
  • Season if desired, and garnish with fresh basil leaves as desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!
