Spicy Sheet Pan Chicken and Sausage

Jul23

One of the most popular recipes here at Framed Cooks is the one for sheet pan chicken and vegetables, and it’s also one of the recipes that actually gets repeated on a regular basis in my kitchen amid all the new recipes I am forever writing and testing, because it is so easy, so scrumptious and there is exactly one pan to clean up after supper. And because I can never leave well enough alone, I decided to sass this trusty recipe up a little with some different veggies and some sausage, and now I am torn between which one is my favorite.

So if you want to add a little flare to your chicken and vegetables, come on with me and let’s make it!

Oh, this recipe. If you love pasta, if you love basil, if you love a plate of cheesy, creamy, comfort food deliciousness, then this recipe for tortellini with basil cream sauce has your name on it. It’s had my name on it ever since I first made it, and it’s usually the first thing I make when the first sweet basil makes an appearance in the summer. Oh, and just for good measure, it’s one of those recipes that has you in and out of the kitchen in about 15 minutes or so.

This ready-in-20-minutes supper (yes you read that right) is one of my summertime favorites. It’s all kind of healthy, it involves the minimum amount of time in the kitchen when what you really want to be doing is enjoying the beautiful outside summertime, and most importantly, it is SCRUMPTIOUS. Tender flaky salmon, cheery asparagus, the bright flavor of lemon, all topped off with crunchy crispy breadcrumbs.

Hello, salad season! We are now smack into the lazy, hazy days of summer, and so I have salads on repeat in our kitchen. And while I love a good fruit and veggie salad as much as the next girl, salad for supper sometimes means you want a hearty dose of protein along with your greens. In this case, some sliced steak with a good scattering of blue cheese on a bed of spinach that has been zinged up with some balsamic vinegar.

Oh, and did I mention it has bacon? You are in, right? Let’s make it!

I am a big lover of that old classic, linguine with clam sauce. The red kind, the white kind…either way, I am a happy girl. And I do have a recipe that I love and adore for linguine with clam sauce, but that doesn’t mean I’m not always experimenting with variations on the theme, which is how this recipe for spaghetti with buttered broccoli clam sauce was born. Fresh whole clams, cheery broccoli and a buttery wine sauce…it’s a whole new spin on pasta with clam sauce. Let’s make it!
