Here are one of those dishes that you put together because you have a couple of ingredients and you just have to make it work or run out to the store.
I had some Chicken Sausages that I picked up at Sam’s Club last weekend and a jar of pasta sauce. The sausage had a Italian flavor, with Provolone cheese in it. I thought that may make a good addition to pasta sauce.
I don’t know how but I was out of Spaghetti noodles, that never happens, I always buy tons. But I did have some egg noodles. So we gave it a try. My family loved it, of course or I wouldn’t be sharing this with you.
4 Chicken Sausage Links-Italian seasoned
1 Onion, diced
2 Cloves Garlic, diced
1 jar of Pasta Sauce
1 16oz. bag of Egg Noodles, prepared directed.
I cut up the sausages into bit sized pieces, then added it to a pan with the onion and garlic. I sautéed them for about 10 minutes. Next, I added the sauce and let it all simmer for 30 minutes. Prepare Noodles as directed. Finally, pour the sauce over the noodles and serve with a nice green salad.
One last tip. This sausage is great grilled and then sliced up and put on crackers with cheese.
