PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLES

Category: Pasta - Meat

3 oz mild or hot Italian sausage, removed from casing
Olive oil
1 small zucchini, diced
1 small red onion, diced
1 baby eggplant, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2/3 cup any small pasta, cooked according to pkg directions
6 small fresh sage leaves, minced
3 tbsp whipping cream
1/4 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper

Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, crumbling as it cooks, for about 4 minutes. Add a drizzle of oil if necessary to keep sausage from sticking.

Add the zucchini, onion, eggplant and garlic. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender and begin to brown at edges and sausage is cooked through, 5-7 minutes.

Add the drained pasta to the vegetables. Now add the sage, cream, salt and pepper to taste. Cook about one minutes just to heat through.
