My favorite, local grocer makes these amazing, fresh chicken and green onions sausage! It’s delightful! And what I love most is that they use non-pork castings. I use them in almost every dish I make that has sausage as an ingredient. Naturally, I had to make a pasta dish with it. You know I love some dang pasta! And honey, this dish is beautiful! Photos don’t do it any justice. And flavors are balanced perfectly if I do say so myself. I’m super proud of my Chicken Sausage, Peppers, and Onions Linguine recipe.
I’m pretty obsessed with that Chicken and Green Onions sausage. It’s the best! But, if you can find anything similar, you can use Italian sausage. It will work as well. Keep in mind that these sausages aren’t smoked and you’ll have to ensure that it’s cooked all the way through. I do this, by steaming and browning.
The sweetness of the red and yellow peppers contrasted well with the flavors of the onions and sausages. Not to mention the sauce! Cold butter emulsified into the dry white wine and garlic was one thing. But, adding a bit of heavy cream and cajun spices really developed this sauce beautifully! I hope you will try it!
