Gluten-free fresh fusilli is tossed in a creamy pink sauce built from tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and a cream sauce base, then finished with a pat of butter for extra richness. Browned chicken sausage and tender sautéed bell pepper add hearty texture throughout. A sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh scallion greens finish each bowl.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

  • Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Cook Pepper & Sausage
2
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and cook until lightly browned and slightly softened, 3-4 minutes.

  • Add sausage* and scallion whites; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Pasta
3
  • Once water is boiling, add gluten-free fresh fusilli to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 2-3 minutes.

  • Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.

Start Sauce
4
  • While pasta cooks, stir Italian Seasoning, tomato paste, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings) into pan with sausage mixture until coated.

  • Pour in ¼ cup plain water (⅓ cup for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, then reduce heat to low.

Finish Sauce
5
  • Add cream sauce base to pan with sauce. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Add drained gluten-free fresh fusilli to pan with sauce; toss to coat. If needed, stir in reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.

  • Divide pasta between bowls and top with Parmesan. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
