Ingredients

  • 1 box banza pasta
  • 12 oz medley tomatoes (cut in half. I use the orange, yellow, and red bite sized combo but any tomatoes will work. )
  • 2 chicken sausages (sliced into circles )
  • 2-3 cups spinach (optional)
  • 1/4 small sweet onion (chopped)
  • 2-3 tsp cane sugar (optional )
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp paprika (to taste )
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil banza or pasta of choice in a pot.

  2. 2

    While the pasta is cooking, in a separate sauce pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and add minced garlic. I like to cook my chicken sausage at this same time. I just slice them into circles and throw them in the air fryer for 6-7 minutes at 375°. If you don't have an air fryer you can just throw them in the sauce pan to cook with the sauce.

  3. 3

    Add diced onion to saue pan with garlic and cook until onion is translucent. Add tomatoes and saute until they are soft enough to easily mash with a utensil. And garlic salt, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in paprika and cane sugar (optional).

  4. 4

    Depending on how thick you like your sauce, you can just mash it up with a utensil or if you prefer a thinner sauce, you can blend it. I prefer to mash it.

  5. 5

    Add in spinach and chicken sausage. Stir until spinach wilts. Drain pasta and add to sauce.
