For an easy change from regular spaghetti with tomato sauce, spice it up with a little sausage (or veggie sausage), kalamata olives, and feta cheese. We had extra sausage in the house (of both varieties) and a jar of my mom's homemade tomato sauce. Trying to be a bit creative, I decided to combine those two ingredients into a wonderful pasta. And that we did.
Pasta with Sausage, Kalamata Olives, and Feta
1 lbs. whole wheat penne
1 Italian sausage link per person, approximately 6-8 for this amount of pasta, sliced into bite-sized pieces
3 cups tomato sauce, either homemade or your favorite brand
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
1/4 feta cheese, crumbled
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
salt, to taste
1. Prepare the pasta according to package directions.
2. Cook the sausages in a non-stick skillet until browned on all sides and cooked all the way through.
3. When the sausage is thoroughly cooked, add the tomato sauce until heated. Add the olives, feta cheese, and drained pasta. Stir to combine. Add red pepper flakes and salt to taste, tossing to coat all the pasta. Serve and enjoy!
