Best Low Fat Italian Sausage Dinner Recipes
ONE-POT CREAMY SHELLS AND SAUSAGE
Just like your favorite boxed shells and cheese, this recipe turns out a dinner that's creamy, irresistible and made in a single pot. But unlike the boxed version, this upgrade will fill up the whole family-thanks to the addition of hearty Italian sausage and Muir Glen™ tomato basil pasta sauce. Cooking the whole meal in a single pot isn't just convenient, it also allows you to build flavor as you go. Here's what we mean: It all starts with browning the sausage until it's cooked through. Removing the sausage but not the rendered fat it leaves behind adds deep savory flavor to the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes that get sautéed next. After your aromatics, you'll add the tomato sauce, which is handy since it'll help deglaze the pan and integrate more flavor into your sauce. With the addition of the broth, you'll have enough liquid to cook your pasta. Once the pasta is cooked through, all that's left is adding the cream and cooked sausage. Serve this up with shredded Parmesan and basil, and you've got a delectable dinner that might just become a part of your regular rotation.

LOW-FAT ITALIAN SAUSAGE DINNER
Quick, easy, low-calorie and very low fat. We like filling comfort-style entrees. This is one of my DH's favorites. We love to garden and this recipe grew out of our abundant produce. It uses lots of fresh veggies, and portion sizes are large, so you're eating big as well as eating good. It's also very versatile; add in whatever veggies you have on hand, use any kind of pasta. It's also very good over polenta.
