Pesto Orecchiette with Chicken Sausage

Serves 4-6

This is a quick and healthy weeknight meal. It reheats very well for leftovers.

ingredients

12 ounces orecchiette pasta (I usually use shell pasta as a substitute)
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces fully cooked Italian-style chicken sausage links, thinly sliced (I use 4 links)
1/3 cup pesto
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces)
