When I was recently invited to create a recipe using Barilla’s Gluten Free Pasta and Aidells Chicken and Apple Sausage, I immediately knew I wanted to incorporate fresh summer veggies. Â This recipe is so light and refreshing (but satisfying) and perfect for your summer harvest!
I’m not on a gluten-restricted diet, but I couldn’t believe how good this gluten free pasta tasted – it had the same taste and texture as regular pasta!  I have some gluten free friends that I know are going to love it.  Barilla® Gluten Free Pasta a blend of corn and rice, and is certified gluten free with no GMO ingredients.
Have I ever mentioned how TINY my kitchen is? Â It’s literally about 120 square feet. Â Sometimes it’s challenging (and I sometimes trip over my dog!), but I love my little kitchen.
This pasta dish is full of satisfying sausage and fresh, vibrant flavors from the tomatoes, zucchini,corn, leeks and rosemary.
One of my favorite moments preparing this recipe was when I browned the sausage with fresh rosemary at the beginning. Â The smell of the chicken and apple sausage cooking with the aroma of rosemary was amazing!
Whether you’re on a gluten restricted diet or not, you’ve GOT to make this. Â It’s hearty, but not too filling and the rosemary complements the chicken and apple sausage perfectly.
Enjoy!
