The Daily Balance

The making of a perfect, incredibly easy meal (serves one):

• 1 al fresco chicken sausage (I’d go with Sweet Italian, Garlic, Sundried Tomato or Roasted Red Pepper for this recipe)
• 1 cup of fresh mushrooms
• 1/2 cup of your favorite pasta sauce
• Serving of pasta — I used Gia Russa Spinach Pasta
• 1/4 cup grated cheese

Saute with mushrooms and add sausage until browned. Add pasta sauce and heat through. Pour on top of cooked pasta. Sprinkle with CHEESE! EAT!

Such an easy, flavorful recipe — perfect for a night where you don’t feel like cooking!

What dish do you whip up when you don’t feel like “going all out?”

   I love Alfresco chicken sausage! I think I ate it once a week over the summer. And it’s especially good with pasta!

   My go-to food is sooo boring. I literally just put lettuce in a bowl with oil and vinegar….nothing else. but it really is easy and fun when I have no motivation to make more.
