How to Make Creamy Feta Chicken Sausage Pasta
The best part about this recipe is that there’s no wait time. There’s always something to do while something else is cooking. That’s why it comes together so quickly.
Plus, if I’m thinking ahead, I can prep the veggies ahead of time and can shave off another 3-5 minutes of chop time!
- Boil 3 cups of water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water.

Another thing I love about this pasta dish is that there really isn’t a sauce, so to speak.
The flavors of the dish are brought together to create a sauce of sorts right in the pan! Along with the olive oil and all of the flavors it gets from the onions, bell peppers, garlic, and sausage, we use the starchy pasta water to thicken everything up and coat the pasta in its own little sauce.
So the dish is a lighter pasta dish that’s perfect year round!
You can also use a variety of the al fresco dinner sausage flavors to change it up without having to create an entirely new recipe!
