Angel Hair Pasta with Sauteed Veggies & Cream Sauce

I did a "throw together" dinner last night that turned out pretty yummy!  We had our neighbors over and even they liked it!!  The measurements below are estimates because I didn't measure anything...but, hopefully if you try it, it'll turn out just as good!  Next time, I'll try to thin the sauce out just a tad.  One of our neighbors wanted red pasta sauce on theirs (instead of the cream) and I added some of that to my cream sauce but it still needs something else to make it a little thinner.



Ingredients:
Olive Oil
Cayenne pepper (a few dashes)
1 small head of broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1 package of sliced baby bella mushrooms
1 medium zuchinni, cut into bit size pieces
1 package chicken sausage
Angel hair pasta
1 Tbsp butter
8 oz 1/3 fat cream cheese
1/4 cup skim milk
Directions
- Cook sausage according to package (I simmered mine for about 10 minutes then drained the water and browned, turning frequently).  When they are done, cut into bite size pieces & put them on a plate.  Keep warm
- Using the same pan, add a little olive oil and saute the veggies, turning frequently to avoid burning them (add extra olive oil as needed)
- Cook pasta according to package instructions
- In a small sauce pan, add butter, cream cheese and milk.  Stir frequently to "melt" the cream cheese.  Add the dashes of cayenne and taste to ensure it's not too spicy.  (Here's where I added the red pasta sauce to mine)
- When pasta is done, mix all ingredients together and serve with sauce drizzled over top.
