I thought of making a hot pasta dish, but instead settled on a pasta salad. It's truly a clear the pantry type of recipe, so feel free to modify with what you have on hand. Ingredients:
2 cups pasta, uncooked |
1 large garlic clove, minced |
1 -2 sweet italian sausage |
1/2 chipotle chile in adobo, minced |
1/2 cup cooked corn or 1/2 cup vegetables, of your choice |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 teaspoon adobo sauce |
1/4 teaspoon brown sugar |
salt & pepper |
olive oil |
fresh cilantro, chopped |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta per directions on box and drain.
2. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and saute garlic clove for 1 minute.
3. Add in fresh cooked vegetables and the chopped chipotle pepper and stir. If needed, add a little water to help the veggies cook.
4. Once cooked, remove vegetables from the pan and cook the sausage in the same pan. Slice the sausage once browned & cooked until no longer pink, about 7-9 minutes.
5. In a medium bowl, combine mayonaise, lemon, adobo sauce, brown sugar and salt and pepper.
6. Add veggies, pasta and sausage to the bowl. Toss gently and sprinkle cilantro on top.
