Here at Zweigle’s, we’re all about protein. It’s not just because we’re in the business of producing great tasting hot dogs and sausages though — protein is an essential component of a balanced diet! Heck, we even covered 4 Ways to Get More Protein into Your Diet in one of our March blog posts. It’s just that important.

Ingredients
4 Zweigle’s All Natural Spinach & Feta Chicken Sausages
1 box penne pasta
8 oz sliced mushrooms
4 cups low sodium chicken stock
1 can great northern beans
4 oz sun dried tomatoes
4 oz quartered artichoke hearts
1 cup of fresh spinach
1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
- Cut Zweigle’s All Natural Spinach & Feta Chicken Sausages into bite-sized pieces, and add to pan with olive oil and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened.
- Add chicken stock to pot, and wait for it to boil. Add pasta and cook as normal.
- Cut sun dried tomatoes into bite-sized chunks and add to pan with chicken sausage and mushrooms. Also add great northern beans, artichoke hearts, and fresh spinach.
- Once spinach has wilted and pasta is cooked to your liking, use a ladle to transfer pasta to the pan with the vegetables and sausage. Don’t worry if some broth makes its way into the pan, as it adds extra flavor!
- Allow to simmer for a few minutes and serve.
- Top with parmesan cheese if desired.
