The fresh herbs really pop in this cinch of a weekday meal. If you want a break from pasta, serve the saucy sausages on polenta instead. It would make a fantastic hoagie filling, too. —Victoria Davis, Wilder, Vermont

This is a quick and easy dish to prepare. I don't care for chicken sausage so I used Italian. Oh - did I forget to say it's delicious!
