Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus, washed and trimmed

3 stalks green garlic, washed, ends trimmed, and diced

1 shallot, thinly sliced

¼ cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes

Salt and pepper, to taste

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

2 tablespoons oil (canola, oil from sun-dried tomatoes, or olive oil)

4 pre-cooked sausages, sliced (or another protein of choice: beans or cubed tofu could work too!)

2 cups pasta of choice, cooked according to package instructions (could also serve with roasted potatoes, rice, or crusty bread)

2 tablespoons salted butter

¼ cup Parmesan cheese

Balsamic glaze, for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Fill a large pot with water and salt generously. Place over medium-heat, and slowly bring to a boil.
Add prepared asparagus, green garlic, shallot, and sun-dried tomatoes to the baking sheet.
Drizzle oil over top, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add sliced sausages to the baking sheet as well, mixing evenly with the vegetables.
Place the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
While the veggies and sausages bake, prepare the pasta. About halfway through the baking time, add the pasta and bake according to the package directions.
Once finished, drain the pasta, and add the butter. Stir until melted, then add the Parmesan cheese.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and serve roasted vegetables and sausage on top of a bed of pasta. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and enjoy!
