Thanks so much for all the entries. Lots of ideas, lots of spice, lots of sassiness…. (no kidding — 2 different people submitted a Sassy Sausage recipe.) We picked our top 3 and here they are.

Paella with Spicy Italian Chicken Sausage

The simple combo of chimichurri and shrimp is yummy enough but this quick recipe takes it to a whole new level. We prefer to use the seafood blend. The scallops and calamari rings really make the texture stand out.

Spicy Sausage Cacciatore

This pasta dish packs a lot of flavor with the chicken sausage, Trader Joe’s wonderful cacciatore sauce and lemon pepper pappardelle.
