Pesto Pasta with Sausage, Mushroom, Tomato

If the children in your care love pasta, they are sure to love this easy recipe. My Mom Boss found the recipe on the Real Plans app and the kids love it! I simply bought ground sweet sausage and a premade jar of pesto to make the yummy dinner. Leftovers make a great school lunch school packed in a thermos the next day.

You Will Need:

4 cups fusilli pasta
1 pound Italian sausage
8 ounces mushrooms
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes
1 jar of pesto

What to Do:

1. Boil a pot of salty water. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente, slightly firm.

2. Slice mushrooms and halve tomatoes.

3. Remove sausage from casing if in links. Brown the sausage in a pan and cook thoroughly. Remove from pan.

4. Cook tomatoes until skin is blistering. Add in mushrooms until cooked.

5. Put the sausage back in the pan and toss with pasta. Add pesto sauce until everything is covered.
