15 Minute Creamy Tomato and Sausage Fettuccine

Friday, February 19, 2016 by Lolli 8 Comments

Believe it or not, sometimes I cook dinner for my family JUST to cook dinner for my family….not to make a gorgeous meal to share on Pinterest. And sometimes I don’t plan ahead and it gets to be 5:30 and the crew is getting hungry and I have no idea what to feed them.

It happens quite frequently, actually.

Do you ever have one of those nights where you have no time or desire or inspiration to cook dinner? This is a perfect quick meal for those nights - 15 Minute Creamy Tomato and Sausage Fettuccine

This meal did not start out as something I wanted to share with anyone else, because it was just one of those “throw something together” dinners. But then I snapped a picture (with horrible lighting, I might add!) and shared it on Instagram and so many people loved it that I decided I’d better snap a few more pictures and write up a recipe.

When I don’t know what to cook, I look through the fridge, freezer, and on the shelves to see what I might be able to throw together. When I’m pressed for time and ideas, I tend to skip the traditional recipes and cookbooks and instead base a meal on whatever ingredient I can find that sparks some inspiration.

This past week, I found some smoked sausage in the freezer (a family-staple that we almost always have on hand) and I knew I had some sun dried tomato pesto and fettuccine on hand in the pantry. I figured that I could use those three ingredients to make something worth eating.

You guys. It was so good!

I love when I discover recipes that are so easy to make and hardly take any prep time for those weeknights when I simply don’t have time, energy, OR inspiration to make something fancy.

Bonus points when they taste good and everyone likes them, too.

    That’s a great quick meal. Have to get some spinach.

    Nothing like an easy, simple and delicious pasta meal. If I have it I add some bell peppers to this.

    I love fast meals, too! I keep having to remind myself that quick meals can still be tasty and healthy. :)
