- 1 pound farfalle or any pasta you like
- 3 chicken apple sausages, casings removed (Next time I would at least 4 – 5 sausages)
- Quick-roasted tomatoes (amount you see in picture, cut in half, tossed in balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt and roasted at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes)
- 1/3 cup white wine (add more if adding more sausage and tomatoes)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- olive oil (I used infused oil but you can use regular)
- 2-3 cloves chopped fresh garlic
- sage leaves (I chopped 4 or 5 large leaves)
- mushrooms, chopped (I had only a handful but more would be better)
- Red chili flakes if not using infused oil
Prepare your pasta of choice.
While waiting for the pasta, heat the olive oil and butter in a pan large enough to hold the pasta. Add the sausages that have been removed from their casings and cook over medium-high heat until they’re slightly brown. If you aren’t using infused olive oil, you can add the chili flakes at this point. Add the chopped mushrooms and let them cook with the sausages for 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic to the middle of the pan and cook for about half a minute then add the white wine and deglaze the pan. Next, add the roasted tomatoes, cook for a couple of minutes just until the flavors are combined. Add the chopped fresh sage. Salt, to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan, toss with the sauce, plate and serve with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

My mom always used to make sausage-and-roasted-pepper pasta for a great weekday dinner. Love this take on sausage sauce – it’s so fresh and springy!
Judy / Bebe Love Okazu says
Mmm, I love sausage in pasta but I haven’t made that in a while. Thanks for the inspiration. I think I’ll try roasting some tomatoes next time – – – but store bought. I have a black thumb. I’m wondering what I could do to turn that into a green thumb. 🙂 Perhaps I could get my Dad to tend to some flammes. They sound delish! Thanks for this great recipe – perfect for Spring & Summer!

Judy, the store-bought ones are really good if you roast them. The roasting works especially well for the cheaper Roma tomatoes that are always around. If your dad can grow the jaune flammes, it would be a great treat. 🙂

Do you know that a few years ago I thought I didn’t like sage? CRAZY I know! Now, it’s one of my favorite herbs! I would love this pasta dish!!!
lemonsandanchovies says
Tiffany, I didn’t grow up eating sage so it was a late discovery for me, too. Now I can’t imagine an herb garden without it. 🙂

I was smelling this dish as I was reading! The crispy chicken sausage with the roasted tomatoes: that is my idea of a heavenly meal, with great wine, what more could one wish for? Your photos are just breathtaking!
Kelly says
Wow I love this and the pictures turned out amazing 🙂 I’ve saved this recipe and can’t wait to try this soon! Loving the blog!
Maureen says
I love growing tomatoes. To me, there’s nothing better than pulling one off and eating it in the garden and coming back to the house with tomato juice still on my chin.
This pasta dish is yummy looking. I admire your skill with a camera.
Brian @ A Thought For Food says
I love the tomato shots! What a fantastic recipe this is!
Liren says
Every year I say to myself, “I’m going to grow more vegetables,” and I’m lucky if I manage to grow a couple of herbs. The jaune flamme tomato plants sounds wonderful! Looking forward to hearing more about your gardening adventures 🙂
Vicki @ WITK says
My mom put up a little electric fence to keep the deer out, apparently it’s pretty effective! Beautiful dish, I’ll have to wait until I can find good tomatoes at the farmers market. Spring is on it’s way, right?
Laura @ SweetSavoryPlanet says
I look forward to fresh, ripe, warm tomatoes off the vine. If you grow nothing else grow tomatoes and basil. I try to grow other veggies and the bunnies get to them before they can grow.
Sukaina says
Those tomatoes look beautiful- homegrown or store bought! You seem to have a green thumb! I recently visited a farm and am in awe of where all our produce comes from. Great job!
Nami @ Just One Cookbook says
Hi Jean! I wish I can grow tomatoes in my backyard but we have deers and other unknown animals attacking our backyard…now we have fake grass and cactus in the yard! Anyway… this recipe is great! I never roasted tomatoes in the oven just for the pasta. 20 mins is not too bad for adding great flavors. Can’t wait to try… by the way I cooked your green bean recipe (chinese one) but I didn’t cook green been long enough (was in hurry… i know…). My Taiwanese husband loved the taste and this is actually my favorite Chinese vegetable dish, too. So I’ll let you know when I try again next time!
lemonsandanchovies says
Nami, the deer are beautiful to look at but they do quite a number on the yard, don’t they? There are very few things they wouldn’t eat. With regard to the cactus, I actually really like them a lot. We have quite a few growing around here, too. They’re so low maintenance. 🙂
Thanks so much, too, for trying out the green bean recipe. The green beans do take a while to cook but I’m glad that you and your husband enjoyed the flavors. We actually just had this dish again a few days ago. It’s become a favorite! 🙂
Belinda @zomppa says
Wonderful recipe – and fresh tomatoes – fantastic! (Dinner tonight sounds pretty darn good, too).
Feast on the cheap says
Mmm, my kinda meal!
merry jennifer says
I love the simplicity of this recipe yet the boldness of flavors. Roasting the tomatoes is a wonderful idea. I’m not a huge sage fan, but I’m learning. 🙂
David, Original Brat Hans says
Love anything that spices up traditional pasta! I agree with everyone your photos are amazing. Not sure what apple chicken sausage you were using, but our Original Brat Hans chicken sausage is all-natural with no antibiotics, added hormones or preservatives, which are attributes I thought you and your readers might be interested in. Looking forward to more recipes!

I have a few herbs in my garden but tomato is not one of them. Byt my next door neighbor planted tomatoes last year and they were heaping with red… shiny red tomatoes that I wanted to pick some haha. I just saw it rot on the vine (darn i should have gotten it right?) At the start o f the season, I saaw his pots of tomatoes again and I also saw him planting a few more. When it bears fruits, I will boldly ask for some and make him a bowl of this pasta… hmm I think I have a good plan ahead.. what do you think Jean?
lemonsandanchovies says
Hi Malou! What a pity that those tomatoes went to waste! Yes, for sure, ask him for some. Most of the time there’s too much to eat for one family. Before I started growing mine my friends would give me loads of their harvest. I think your plan is awesome. Go for it! 🙂
Kate@Diethood says
Oh Jean this sounds ammmmazing! My hubz would fall in love again if I made this for him! 🙂 Thank you for sharing…I love this recipe!
Jackie says
Ooooh, this looks yum! I love the second photo too – it’s beautiful! And, I know this is weird, I love the background surface!
I can’t grow anything, sadly, I severely lack the green-fingered gene. It makes me sad, I’d love to be able to grow veggies and plants, but I just can’t do it. Everything dies! So I’ll be buying my tomatoes from the market, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still whip up a tasty dish or two =)
