Today was pickup day for our CSA here in Brooklyn so my kitchen was fully stocked with fresh produce from our local farm. I had also set out some Broadview breakfast sausage in the fridge last night, not sure what I would use it for. One of my favorite dishes to use fresh veggies in is pasta primavera – just a mix of sautéed vegetables tossed with pasta. Tonight I decided to add a little pork into the mix. The result was beautiful!
After starting the pasta, I browned the sausage in a big pan and then added tomatoes, broccoli, and squash along with fresh basil, thyme and oregano. The pork gave off some wonderful fat in the pan and I just added a very light drizzle of olive oil to supplement. When the vegetables had softened a little I added the drained pasta to the pan and tossed the mix with a little salt and pepper. I can only imagine how delicious this recipe would be with our hot italian sausage!
