May 23, 2013 - Downingtown Farmers Market Dinner

Tonight's Farmers Market Dinner:

Tomato and Basil Pasta with Chicken Sausage, Peppers, and Tomato served with a Multi-grain Baguette

The pasta and the baguette were the only ingredients in this dish from the market this week.  I had planned on adding the peppercorn chevre as a spread on the baguette but after a test slice it didn't work.  It wasn't bad really, and both the bread and cheese were great separate. I felt that the multigrain baguette was too strong a flavor to go well with the cheese, so it was served with a little butter.

This was a simple pasta dish with no sauce that Stacey found - it was super easy to make, and had a ton of flavor.  

1. Diced the peppers tomatoes. I used one of each  red, orange, and yellow bell peppers, and about 4 medium sized tomatoes

2. Diced the chicken sausage.

 3. Brown the sausage.

4. Add the diced peppers.  I cooked them until they softened.

 5. Add the tomatoes and the pasta back to the pan.  Stirred it all together and added some shredded parmesan cheese.

6.  Topped with basil and more parmesan cheese.
