What's for Dinner

I wanted to share one of our favorite dinner recipes. It's super quick and DELICIOUS!

One night I made this dish while a worker was setting up our home security system and I invited him to grab a plate. He said it was the best pasta he's ever had. And I think he was telling the truth, because his plate was clean!

I like to call this type of recipe a Dump Recipe. No measuring required. Just cook however much you want!


Ingredients:

Whole wheat pasta (I like to use angel hair or penne, but it doesn't matter)
1 can of Rotel tomatoes, drained (I use medium hot, but again it doesn't matter)
Turkey smoked sausage, sliced
Zucchini, slice thin
Marinara Sauce
Minced Garlic
Olive Oil
Shredded white cheese (doesn't matter what kind)


Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions then drain.

Heat some olive oil in a large pan. Dump some garlic in the oil and sliced zucchini and let it brown for a few minutes. Then add the sliced turkey sausage. Allow the sausage to brown and get happy. Once the sausage gets to a brownness that you like, add the Rotel tomatoes. Use the juice from the tomatoes to deglaze the pan, then add the marinara sauce. Dump the cooked pasta in the pan and mix with the sauce. Once pasta and sauce are heated through, remove from heat. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the pasta and cover with lid. Allow to sit for a few minutes to give time for cheese to melt.

Enjoy!
