Description

This Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Sausage Pasta combines smoky roasted red peppers with savory chicken sausage, tender pasta, and fresh vegetables for a comforting and flavorful meal. It’s quick enough for weeknights yet sophisticated enough to impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 300g (10.5oz) Chicken Sausage, sliced
  • 250g (9oz) Penne Pasta
  • 200g (7oz) Zucchini, sliced
  • 250g (9oz) Tomatoes, diced
  • 150g (5.3oz) Roasted Red Pepper, pureed
  • 120ml (½ cup) Heavy Cream
  • 30g (2 tbsp) Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Basil, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Pine Nuts, toasted
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Optional (plan-ahead): If you’re shopping for the week, I put this into a 4-Week Meal Plan + Grocery Lists so dinner’s already decided before your day gets busy.

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Boil pasta, reserving ½ cup pasta water. Drain.
  2. Sear Sausage: Brown sliced sausage in olive oil. Set aside.
  3. Char Zucchini: Sauté zucchini until slightly charred. Set aside.
  4. Sauté Aromatics: Sauté garlic and paprika until fragrant.
  5. Cook Tomatoes: Cook diced tomatoes until softened.
  6. Make Sauce: Stir in red pepper purée and cream. Simmer.
  7. Combine: Return sausage and zucchini to sauce. Add pasta.
  8. Finish: Stir in Parmesan and basil. Season.
  9. Serve: Garnish with pine nuts and basil.

Notes

Reserving pasta water helps create a creamy sauce. Roasting your own red peppers intensifies their flavor.
