The great thing about a sheet pan dinner is that it’s easy to make and even easier to clean up afterward. The other nice thing about this is that you can substitute any root vegetables you like. Beets instead of yams? Delicious! Rutabaga instead of parsnips? Go for it! Just make sure you have everything cut into similar size pieces so it all cooks evenly.

Serves 4 as a main dish, 8 as a side

• 1 package Panorama Smoked Sausage, cut into 1-inch chunks
• ¾ pound small red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into quarters
• 2 medium red garnet yams, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 4 medium carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 parsnips, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4-5 sprigs fresh rosemary

Preheat oven to 425° F.  Line a sheet pan with parchment.

Mix the sausage, potatoes, yams, carrots, parsnips, onion, and garlic on the sheet pan. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss with your hands to make sure everything is coated. Make sure the vegetable mix is evenly distributed in a single layer on the pan. Place the rosemary sprigs on top.

Place the pan in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Stir and roast another 15 minutes. Stir and continue to roast until the vegetables are soft and browned. Remove from the oven and remove the rosemary sprigs. Serve immediately.

This colorful pasta dish couldn’t be any quicker or easier—or healthier. If you want to spice it up a little, just add some crushed red pepper along with the other seasonings.

Serves 6

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 red pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 yellow pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 green pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 package Panorama Smoked Sausage, cut into 1” slices
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound spaghetti
• 1 cup grated Parmesan, for garnish

Heat the olive oil and butter until shimmering in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper, yellow pepper, green pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the garlic, sausage, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the sausage is heated through and the vegetables are al dente, about 5 minutes.

In the meantime, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain the spaghetti, reserving a small amount of pasta water if needed for the sausage and peppers.

Place a serving of spaghetti in each bowl and top with the sausage and peppers mixture. Garnish with Parmesan and serve immediately.
