Sausage, Broccoli & Mozzarella Pasta
Why is it that the most simple meals that you throw together always come out the best?! I was craving some sort of sausage pasta, and grabbed some baby broccoli but knew it would need more - so into the cart went mozzarella balls. If you haven't tried my moms Famous Summer Pasta yet, you must, but I got the idea for mozzarella from that recipe. The hot pasta and sausage/broccoli mixture warms the mozzarella balls and makes them very slightly melty. It's the best! I highly recommend this if you want to make something easy, that you can use for leftovers, and hit your protein and veggie goal in one meal.
