chicken sausage and vegetable pasta primavera recipe

The other night my family was craving something hearty and it was one of those nights where I didn’t feel like going to the grocery story so I made something with whatever I had in the refrigerator. I ended up making a chicken sausage and vegetable pasta and it turned out amazing. Best part, it was so easy to make that I would definitely recommend it for all you busy moms out there.
