Ingredients
-
1 box (227 g) Banza pasta or any pasta of your choice
-
480 ml (2 cups) pasta sauce (spicy or your favorite)
-
15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
-
1 large bag (about 500 g) frozen mixed vegetables
-
4 fully cooked chicken sausage links, sliced
Instructions
-
Bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, drain, and set aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add frozen vegetables and sliced sausage. Cook 6–8 minutes until veggies are tender and sausage warmed through.
-
Divide pasta evenly into 4–5 containers.
-
Top each with the sausage-veggie mix. Spoon about 1/2 cup of pasta sauce over each portion.
-
Let cool slightly before sealing containers for storage.
Notes
Undercook pasta slightly so it keeps its texture when reheated.
Upgrade flavor with basil, parmesan, or red pepper flakes.
Swap in your favorite vegetables (broccoli, peppers, spinach, zucchini).
Store pasta, sauce, and veggies separately if freezing for best texture.
Add grilled chicken or extra cheese for more protein.
