Linguine with Roasted Bell Peppers, Chicken Sausage, Spinach, and Feta

I recently picked up some Gruyere & roasted garlic chicken sausage, so I made this linguine with roasted bell peppers, chicken sausage, spinach, and feta recipe. The flavorful sausage, the sweet peppers, the nutty pine nuts, and the salty cheese were a match made in heaven. We all, especially my husband and I, loved this pasta.

Linguine with Roasted Bell Peppers, Chicken Sausage, Spinach, and Feta

Ingredients:

• 8 oz linguine, cooked per instructions
• 2 tbsp olive oil, (divided)
• 4 chicken sausages, sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• Dash of crushed red pepper flakes
• Several roasted bell peppers, sliced
• Handful of baby spinach, chopped
• 1-2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• Feta cheese, crumbles

How to Make Linguine with Roasted Bell Peppers, Chicken Sausage, Spinach, and Feta:

Cook linguine per instructions in a large pot of well-salted water.

While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the sausage from the large skillet; set aside until needed.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes, then cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Drain the pasta, reserving about ½ cup of the liquid.

Place the linguine into the skillet with the minced garlic, and add the sausage, roasted bell peppers, pine nuts, and spinach; season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, then add a bit of the reserved pasta water as needed.

Toss to coat and cook until warmed through.

Serve with feta cheese sprinkled on top. Enjoy.
