- 1 (12 oz) bag trimmed fresh green beans
- 8 oz farfalle (or penne) pasta
- 1 lb mild pork (or chicken) Italian sausages
- ½ cup julienne-cut, sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ cup slivered almonds

Steps
- Bring water to a boil for pasta. Cook green beans following package microwave instructions; let stand 5 minutes to cool, then chop into bite-size pieces. Cook pasta following package instructions; drain, reserving ½ cup pasta cooking water.
- Meanwhile, preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Remove casings from sausages; place sausages in pan (wash hands). Cook 6–8 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, until no pink remains and sausage is 165°F. Remove from heat and cover.
