Description

An easy meal made with boneless skinless chicken breasts, with spicy turkey sausage, tomatoes, and herbs over pasta. This recipe is just the start--don't hesitate to add more vegetables, or substitute rice for the noodles.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package uncooked farfalle pasta
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 pound hot Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2 Wash chicken breasts and cut into large bite-size pieces. Cut sausages into large pieces. In a large, deep skillet over medium low heat, combine oil and garlic; and cook just enough to flavor the oil. Remove garlic from oil.
3 Add chicken and sausage to skillet and brown both lightly until they are opaque. Add the tomatoes and the wine. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 20 minutes. Season sauce mixture with basil, rosemary and salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked, drained pasta to the skillet mixture. Toss and serve.
