another great pasta dish

3 or 4 links of **Chicken, feta and spinach sausage
handful of asparagus
1 tbsp olive oil
garlic salt
pepper
2 cups bowtie pasta
3/4 cup feta cheese

  1. Cook pasta according to directions. Meanwhile...
  2. Cut sausage into small chunks - I find it easier to just take the skins off and use my hands to rip into chunks
  3. Brown the sausage in a saute pan.
  4. Cut asparagus into about 1 inch pieces and place on top of the sausage. Turn head to med/low. Cover and let the asparagus steam for about 2 minutes.
  5. Mix asparagus and sausage together and turn down the heat to low.
  6. Drain pasta. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Add olive oil and feta to the pasta. Mix it all up so the feta melts and coats the pasta.
  7. Add pasta/feta mixture to the sausage/asparagus pan, and mix all together.
That's it! you can either serve it right away, or keep it over a low heat and stir it every now and then till you're ready to eat it.

**You can use other types of sausage, this is just the original one that inspired the recipe.

This dish would probably be good with some cherry tomatoes cut in half and tossed in at the last step as well.
