It has been a long and dry fall season here in Colorado so far. But that doesn’t mean I will be slowing down in sharing new and exciting recipes! This Pasta with Peas and Sausage Recipe is not only SUPER easy, it has a great taste even the finickiest eater will love!
Spice it up!
I used mild Italian sausage and sprinkled red chili pepper flakes on top. You can do that or add more chili pepper flakes rather than a little sprinkle. You can also use hot Italian sausage. Any recipes I make that are not my own, many times I modify them to my families liking. So never feel as though you need to create any recipe exactly as it is written. Well, except for baking that is! Always follow those exactly! LOL
