Pasta with Sausage and Cherry Tomatoes

Pasta with sausage and cherry tomatoes is a delicious 30 minutes or less dinner.

It is the time of year that our garden is producing a ton of cherry tomatoes. The rest of our garden did not do well this year, but the cherry tomatoes are growing like crazy. 

I shared on Facebook recently that I was looking for ways to use up all the cherry tomatoes that we had. 

I have been making tomato salad several times a week. We have also been enjoying them in pasta with roasted vegetables. 

The pasta with sausage and cherry tomatoes recipe that I am sharing today is another recipe that we have been loving. This recipe is great because it doesn’t require you to turn on the oven. 

This is a simple recipe. It is not fancy or very pretty, but it is an easy and delicious dinner. 

It uses basic ingredients and takes less than 30 minutes to make. I have been using garden fresh tomatoes, but this is a recipe that would work all year long.
