{Recipe} Tofurky Aritisan Sausage Pesto Pasta

I love pesto, especially with pasta. I also really enjoy vegan sausages. Tofurky recently came out with a variety of artisan (vegan) sausages and so far my favorite is the spinach pesto variety. They are so good and even better with pasta and more pesto.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tofurky Spinach Pesto Sausages
  • 10 oz baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup of pesto (use your favorite or this recipe)
  • 1 lb of bowtie pasta (or your favorite), cooked according to package directions
  • 1/4-1/2 cup reserved pasta water
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the mushrooms and sausages and cook until lightly browned. Stir in the tomatoes. Add the pasta and pesto and stir to combine. Add a the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time if needed to help create the sauce (I used about 1/4 cup).

Disclaimer: Tofurky sent me their new Artisan sausages to try at no cost. All opinions are my own.
