When it comes to feeding my family of six, I sometimes find it challenging to keep everyone happy and well-fed—even when we’re not under quarantine. Add in a month of non-stop cooking and a limited grocery supply and suddenly I’m out of meal ideas. I need something easy to make and delicious, stat.

Enter my Italian sausage with gluten-free pasta and peas. It’s a quick and easy meal that’s nutritious and pretty yummy too. Not to mention it’s a hit with the kids. And when I come across a recipe that is winning in my house, I want to make sure it makes it to your kitchen too.

To make this dish I use my favorite cookware, Scanpan, an exceptional line of nonstick pans that are safe and effective. I have always been a fan of the way the food slides off easily, and it’s great to use less oil for healthier meals. Through the years I have learned that some nonstick pans can be dangerous when they are heated, that’s why it is crucial for me to choose a brand that is safe, with a nonstick effect and easy-to-clean surface.

Oh, and my Italian sausage with gluten-free pasta and peas dish came out perfect!

Cook Up an Easy Dinner Recipe

  • Start by cooking the pasta until it’s al dente but not too soft.
  • Chop the shallot, slice the mushrooms and chop the garlic, then cook all of them in your frying pan for about five minutes with just a dash of olive oil.
  • Next, add the sausage and cook for five minutes. These should be in small pieces but make sure they are thoroughly cooked.
  • Then add the tomatoes and simmer for an additional six to eight minutes.
  • After, add the cooked pasta and peas and stir for three minutes or so until everything feels well combined.
  • Prepare romaine lettuce with Locatelli cheese and toss with your favorite dressing.

Mushrooms are a great source of antioxidants which help protect the body from damaging free radicals that can cause conditions like heart disease and cancer.

Sure, we take time to buy organic, eat organic and avoid processed everything when we can, but food isn’t the worst of toxins that can be present in our meals. Sadly, our cookware may also be contributing to our toxic state. Thanks to the ScanPan Pro IQ line of exceptional pans, the presence of toxins is one less thing I have to worry about. I can finally focus on delectable, easy-to-make meals, like this one.
