Garlic Scape Pesto and Sausage Pasta
A simple weeknight pasta with just a few ingredients and lots of flavor. If you’ve got garlic scape pesto on hand, this comes together in no time. The recipe for the garlic scape pesto can be found here.
Ingredients
Spaghettini (enough for one)
1 Italian sausage (any kind you like, I like something garlic forward or neutral)
A couple spoonfuls of garlic scape pesto
1 tbsp butter
Salted pasta water (3–4 tbsp)
Instructions
Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions.
While it’s cooking, remove the sausage from its casing and brown it in a pan over medium-high heat.
Once browned, turn the heat down to low. Add a couple spoonfuls of garlic scape pesto and a few tablespoons of pasta water to loosen it up. Let it simmer for a minute or two.
Stir in a tablespoon of butter until glossy.
Add your drained pasta to the pan and toss it all together. Taste for seasoning, and serve right away.
