Ingredients

    1/2 box vegetable penne
    2 Tbsp olive oil
    1 onion (small), diced
    2-6 cloves garlic, minced
    1 package (usually 4 links) chicken sausage, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    1 yellow summer squash (med), cubed
    1 zucchini (med), cubed
    3 ichiban eggplant (small), cubed
    6 oz light beer (Stone's Pale Ale in this case)
    1 c grated parmesean (fresh please)

Tips

i like my veggies firm. if you prefer them soft, add the veggies and cook until their almost done, then add the pasta. if the pasta sits for more than a few min it will get soggy.


Directions

cook pasta until just short of al dente

in saucepan, saute onion and garlic in oil until translucent, add sausage, cook over med heat until browned. add rest of veggies and saute over med-high heat until mostly cooked. add beer and pasta, cover until veggies are cooked thru (3-5 min, or to your preference). add paremesean, stir until melted in. serve.

Serving Size: 4-6 servings
