Orecchiette with Rappi & Meatless Sausage
A big thank you to Wegmans for this awesome recipe! Anytime I see multiple cloves of garlic in a recipe I know it's going to taste amazing. It calls for a meatless sausage but if you're feeling more like a carnivore add regular sausage to satisfy your senses. This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make and the family will enjoy it immensely!
Ingredients:
- One package or a chatty pasta cooked according to package directions
- 12 ounces trimmed and chopped rappi
