Add some flavor to pasta night by serving pesto pasta with chicken sausage and roasted brussels sprouts. Easy enough to make on a weeknight.
Did you make anything special for dinner on New Year’s Eve? After a line-up of options, my friends and I decided on making this pesto pasta with chicken sausage and roasted brussels sprouts before the nights’ events. The green part of this recipe is what won my vote. Yes “the green part”.
In addition to basil pesto, recently I have become obsessed with brussels sprouts. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had them much in my life, or really at all until recently. Guess I have my overly picky child-self to blame for that. How many other things have I been missing out on all these years?
Anyway, this pesto pasta with chicken sausage dish is fairly simple yet incredibly tasty and I already want to make it again. It is automatically being placed into my regular rotation of meals, which is a rare event since I am almost always cooking up something new. There are too many amazing recipes out there to try and as a result my “regular dish rotation” list is pretty short. But I digress…Â
Make this and you won’t regret it! Maybe even serve it with some garlic rolls on the side. And then if you love it, which I know you will, you should also try arugula pesto pasta.

[…] Pesto Pasta with Chicken Sausage and Roasted Brussels Sprouts […]
Catching up on my stumbleupon inbox, this looks soooo tasty!
It is the best entree I’ve eaten/made in 2012. Guess that’s not a very bold-sounding statement being a new year.
I’ve been loving brussels sprouts recently and this looks so delicious and easy! Can’t wait to try it
Love the idea of the Brussels in with the pasta. Yummy!
My roommate in college introduced me to brussels sprouts and I’ve been a convert ever since! Loving this pasta…it’s a mash-up of so many of my favorite things!
Your pasta looks so tempting! I am craving for it now
Mmmmm, I only discovered I liked brussels sprouts recently too, they’re so good!! What a great combination of flavors, sounds delish :)
Oh yum!!! This looks delish! I’ve never really had brussels sprouts a whole lot either, so I might have to just give this recipe a try.
I have a confession…I have never cooked with brussels sprouts. I didn’t like them as a kid and haven’t even tried them since. Shame on me, I know. I am saving this and giving them another try. Happy New Year!
This looks awesome–I did a shell pasta with pesto recently as well, and I’m in love. This might even get me to think twice before bypassing the Brussels sprouts…
This just be what it takes to make me try brussel sprouts. Actually I want to try them, I have to convince hubby they aren’t horrible and their bad rap is unwarranted :)
Brussel sprouts, sausage and pasta?! I’m sold! Sounds perfect for a coldy wintery night! Wish I had a bowl of it for dinner!
Oh! I like all of the flavors and textures here!!
I love the roasted brussels sprouts thrown in here! Delicious! :)
I would never have thought of adding sprouts to a dish like this but it looks wonderful! Love all those flavours and it sounds perfect for a new year’s eve feast!
