Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole wheat rotini pasta, or your preference
  • 1 (12-13 oz.) smoked chicken, pork or turkey sausage, sliced
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Holland House Red Cooking Wine
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 scallions, sliced

Method
 

  1. Set a pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain well; set aside.
  2. Heat a 10-inch or larger skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add sliced sausage and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown on all sides. Increase heat to medium-high.
  3. Add tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, until blistered. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more. Reduce heat to medium. Pour in red cooking wine and simmer until reduced by half. Stir in cooked pasta and combine with all ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Remove skillet from heat and stir in mozzarella. Top with scallions.
  5. Enjoy!
