Having a food blog means that a day rarely goes by without a visit to the grocery store.

Thank GOODNESS I’m literally a 5 minute walk away from Target, so going to get groceries doesn’t seem ASmuch like a chore.

So before I made this Spicy Chicken Sausage Pasta Recipe, I made a quick stop by Target, got all my ingredients (um plus like 5 other unnecessary items, because really it’s, um, #target), and then whipped this up in no time.

So yeah, let’s talk about that for a second, this recipe is really quick and easy to put together.

You’re gonna start by browning yourAidells® Chicken & Apple Sausages, which, btw, are gluten free, and are also free of nitritesand hormones. Can I get another *woot woot*? Just kidding. I’m done.

Once the sausage has some color, you’re going to add in some yellow onion and jalapeno, because hellloo we’re makingSpicy Chicken Sausage Pasta!

Plus, I tellingyou, ittotally has the classic pasta taste and texture we all love.

While the pasta gets tender, you’re going to finish the sauce by stirring in some white wine, garlic, corn, diced tomatoes, cream cheese, some pasta water, parmesan, and fresh basil.

Then you’re going to combine your cooked pasta and the sauce and you’ve got yourself a completely tasty and GLUTEN FREE pasta dish!

The end result is a tender pasta dish full of flavor and texture.

I just love the combination of sweet sausage, soft veggies, and an ultra creamy sauce. Plus I love the sweetness and “pop” of texture the corn gives this dish <– so so ridiculously good.
