Servings: 6 people
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons ghee, coconut oil or olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (12 ounce) package chicken sausage sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 1/2 cups low sodium chicken or bone broth
- 10 ounces gluten free penne
- 1 lb asparagus tough ends trimmed and cut into 1-2 inch strips
- 1/4 cup Nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese
- Juice from 1 lemon
- Zest from 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley for topping
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat ghee in a deep saute pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the fully cooked Al Fresco Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage and salt and pepper and stir occasionally, getting it crispy on both sides. Next add the garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden brown.
- Add the broth and stir well to get any bits off the bottom of the pan then add the penne pasta. Cover and turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6-7 minutes. Open the lid and stir occasionally to avoid the bottom of the pan burning.
- Once the pasta is done, open the lid, stir the pasta then add the asparagus without stirring and place the lid back on. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the asparagus and pasta are tender.
- Remove the lid and add the nutritional yeast (or parmesan cheese), lemon juice, lemon zest and stir well. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
