I have to agree with my wife that this fresh pasta with grilled sausage and mushrooms was one of the best main dishes we’ve ever made. Everything was just spot on flavor-wise. From the fresh pasta, to the three different kinds of mushrooms, to the grilled chicken sausage and the rosemary, everything came together. A little heat didn’t hurt either. It’s just there in the back, not out front biting at you.
Nicely Delicious And Still Easy
I opted to grill the sausage since it was such a fantastic day here in Indianapolis. You can cook them in the skillet before you cook the mushrooms if you’d like. The juices and yum-yums from the sausage will lend even more flavor to the mix.
