"Sometimes you just need a quick meal during a busy day! Here’s a 15min pasta recipe using just five ingredients + my favorite sausage links by Al Fresco. All you’ll need is your choice of pasta, tomato sauce, pesto paste, and Parmesan cheese. Don’t forget to add a little bit of salt to your pasta water (but we all know that). A little bit goes a long way, especially with how flavorful these Roasted Pepper & Asiago Chicken Sausages are."
