Pasta Salad with Peppers and Sausage


Our Purnell's Sage Sausage cooked up with lemon juice, lemon zest, tomato paste, garlic, shallot, thyme, celery ribs, smoked mozzarella and lots of basil served over bow tie pasta. "It's Gooo-od!"

Directions

Boil pasta until al dente; drain (reserving 1/3 cup of cooking water). Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and toss with olive oil.

Cook sausage in large skillet until light brown. Drain and set aside.

In separate bowl stir lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, shallot, tomato paste and thyme. Add 8 tablespoons olive oil and reserved pasta cooking water. Stir in approximately half of the dressing to the pasta. Toss well.

Add sausage, celery, peppers, mozzarella and the remaining dressing into the bowl.

Sprinkle salt and pepper, to taste. Top with basil and you’re ready to serve!
