This quick dinner recipe for Fire Roasted Tomato and Basil Pasta is brought to you by GE Appliances.
On a recent visit to my sister’s house, during which we enjoyed plenty of meals and sweet treats, we threw together a quick pasta bar for dinner one night. We chose that type of meal because it can be tailored to everyone’s different preferences, it doesn’t take long to make and it includes bread and butter (and it’s no secret we’re carb lovers around here!). I suggested using chicken sausage because it’s become a recent favorite of mine, comes already cooked and is really flavorful.
Having a few 30 minute meals in your recipe binder can be life savers on a busy night {find more at Weeknight Kitchen}. Know what else can help? All of those appliances that we use day after day that streamline life and make it easier.
May I introduce you to a few new kids on in the GE Appliance aisle?
- French Door Refrigerator with Hand-Free Auto Fill – industry’s first hands-free auto fill – fills water glasses, measuring cups, coffee pots and more automatically. It’s perfect for multi-tasking!
- Double Oven Ranges with Tri Ring Burner – Heat control is super important when cooking, you can cook at two different temps in the double oven and the lowest simmer or the highest sear can be yours with the tri ring burners.
- Stainless Steel Interior Dishwashers with 102 jet wash system – because your time shouldn’t be spent prewashing or rewashing the dishes!
You can see these appliances in action on The Kitchen Reimagined GE Appliance site and follow GE Appliances on Pinterest too!
My inspiration for this 30 minute meal was the pasta bar that we set up that evening. While you’re boiling the pasta water, you’re also heating together a few ingredients in a saucepan to make a quick sauce while the veggies cook and the chicken sausage heats in the oven. Toss it all together and serve with salad and a side of bread and you’re all set!
