Pasta With Smoked Sausage In Tomato Sauce Recipe


Delicious angel hair pasta with jalapeno smoked sausage and vegetables in tomato sauce recipe for dinner🍴

What you will need:

Angel hair pasta (or any other kind), smoked sausage (polska kielbasa, or any kind of smoked sausage will be suitable too). I had a pecan smoked jalapeno sausage from Aldi.






A half of medium size onion, 1 bell pepper, 3-4 mushrooms, 1 jar of pasta sauce.













How to make it:

Cut smoked sausage into small rounds.












Fry it without oil over medium heat, stirring often for even cooking.












When you see it’s browned on all sides, it’s done.













Then I put it on a plate lined with paper towel to get rid of some grease.












Meanwhile, boil water in a separate pot, add pasta and boil it for 12-14 mins until done.











Cut all of the veggies and fry them on olive oil over medium heat (in a bigger pot).











Once veggies are cooked, add sausage to the pot.












Then add the whole jar of pasta sauce.













Add seasonings.














I added salt, garlic powder, basil, minced onion, black pepper, chives, paprika and garlic&herb seasoning blend.








Stir, cover and let it simmer for 7-10 mins over medium-low heat.












Then grain pasta and add to the pot.













Stir all well.














Let it sit covered for 10-15 mins, then serve and enjoy😊

Pasta With Tikka Masala Chicken And Veggies

    Here is one of my favorite dinner recipes that I keep making again and again. I love cooking pasta with different simmer sauces. Almost all of them I buy from Aldi, as there are always a great selection of different kinds and seasonal specials. Some interesting sauces could also be found at any grocery store's Asian or international foods section. 
The whole idea is easy and simple: I just fry chicken with veggies, add sauce, simmer it and then mix with pasta.

Today I had a jar of Tikka Masala Indian simmer sauce from Aldi (you can also find it at regular grocery store's Asian foods section). For veggies I only had one onion, but usually I would add some mushrooms or bell peppers too. Plus a pack of fettuccine pasta and 3 chicken breasts. You can use other kinds of pasta as well, and it also tastes good with cooked rice or mashed potatoes.


Cut half of medium size onion, set aside.














Cut 3 chicken breasts into small cubes, start frying it with olive oil, add salt, pepper, garlic powder.











After about 5 mins add onion.














Meanwhile, boil pasta according to package directions (I always boil it for 15 mins).












Fry chicken with onion until chicken is fully cooked.













Turn heat to medium, add the whole jar of sauce, mix well.













Cover and simmer on medium low heat for 15 mins, stirring every 4-5 mins.












Drain pasta and add to the pot with chicken.














Mix well aaand it’s done! You can let it sit covered for a while before serving so the pasta gets more flavorful😉
