Pasta // Quick Weeknite Meal {FFAY #4}

quick and easy pasta, Foodie For A Year

This is hands down one of my favorite quick dinners. I could seriously eat this once a week. Sadly, there is usually no leftovers after I make this. I think what I like best about this pasta dish is the precooked Italian sausage (we LOVE this brand in mild, fingers crossed you can find it!!!); it's ready to eat just heat it up and you've saved yourself fry time and oil burns- please tell me I'm not the only one who gets burned cooking sausage?!

  3. Yay for garden veggies friend. I have THE WORST luck with zucchini. The squash bugs get out of hand so quick and then my organic garden goes to pot when I have to use pesticides. I really don't want to do that so I just don't grow them.
