RECIPE: Warm Sausage Pasta Salad

Posted at 11:40 AM on June 11, 2009

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups cooked whole wheat pasta (rotini, wagon wheels, or elbow)
  2. Aidell's Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Sausage (3 links chopped into rounds)
  3. 1 cup of sliced eggplant
  4. 1 cup of chopped red bell pepper
  5. 1/2 cup of chopped sweet onion
  6. 1/2 cup of chopped portobella mushrooms
  7. 1 cup of halved or quartered small tomatoes (e.g. cherry, grape, roma)
  8. Parkay Spray butter
  9. 6 tbsp of Red Wine Vinegar
  10. 2 tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
  11. Basil, Parsley, & Oregano seasonings

Directions

  • Cook the pasta according to directions.
  • Combine ingredients 2-7, toss with adequate amount of spary butter and preferred seasonings, then sautee or grill until vegetables soften (Aidell's sausages come pre-cooked, if using a different, uncooked kind, prepare first before combining with veggies).
  • Combine the cooked pasta and veggie-sausage mix.
  • Toss this mixture with the red wine and balsamic vinegars, plus extra seasoning if needed.

Serves 4 (6 points per serving). Add reduced fat paremsan on top if desired.
