Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 ½ cups chicken broth
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
• 16 ounces multigrain farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
• 1 pound mild Italian sausage, diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in sausage and garlic and cook until sausage is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and stir in bell pepper; bring to a boil. Add cherry tomatoes and zucchini, cover, and cook for about 4 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese, butter, adobo seasoning, oregano, and black pepper. Let simmer until sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cooked pasta and serve.
