Cheddar Sausage and Spinach Orecchiette Pasta
I love creating delicious dinners that my family will eat but often times we end up in an endless circle of eating the same dishes. I am always looking for new dishes and ingredients to add to our dinner rotation. That is why I was excited to try the new Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausages. The Wild Side Sausages come in three tasty flavors. You can choose from original, jalapeno, or cheddar. Our family loves cheese so we decided to purchase the cheddar sausages. I wanted to take these bold sausages to the next level and created a new family favorite which was ready in under 30 minutes.
Jack Link’s Wild Side Sausages are available at Walmart and can be found in same area where you find hotdogs and kielbasa. These sausages have quickly become a family favorite and not just because of their amazing flavor. As a mom, I love that they have no fillers, no added MSG, no artificial colors or flavors, are high in protein, are gluten free, and made with premium cuts of pork & beef. These sausages are great on their own but are also great to use in recipes.
Get ready to take your mealtime to the next level when you make your family our Bold Cheddar Sausage and Spinach Orecchiette Pasta.

This recipe looked so good, I copied it down. I am going to make it this coming weekend. I thank you so much for the share.
I like Jack’s links. They are quite tasty. This recipe is looking good too!
I love to make sausage pastas. It’s a great way to throw in whatever veggies I have lying around, too. I haven’t had the Jack Links yet, but I’ll keep an eye out at Walmart!
This looks absolutely amazing. I can never think of dishes to make with sausage and I love pasta, so this is perfect.
Pasta with delicious sausages automatically looks like comfort food for me. I think it’s simply done and great for sharing. Cheddar and jalapeno flavors are both must-tries!
Oooh, that looks great! 😀 It’s actually fairly easy to prepare it too. Thank you SO much for sharing this. I’ll give it a try.
This recipe sounds totally amazing. I love sausages anyway so it was always going to be a popular one with me. I would have gone for the cheddar sausages too (also a big cheese fan).
This looks delectable! My dad totally loves sausage dishes. I’m going to have to make this for him. He’ll love it!!
I like Orecchiette Pasta – it looks nice when combined with spinach and veggies. I feel like the meal looks very attractive when you add the right ingredients with pasta – otherwise, it has no personality. BTW, your recipe collage looks amazing!
This sounds so delicious but I’m a little nervous since I’ve never tried goat cheese let alone cook with it. Preparing this dish will certainly be an adventure for me! I just hope it tastes good with gluten-free pasta.
You could always omit the goat cheese if you were nervous but I like the added flavor that it brings with it. I am sure it will taste just as delicious with gluten free pasta. The sausage really rocks!
The idea of meat makes me queasy, especially living near a slaughterhouse, but I’d definitely be up for trying this with veggie sausage for my husband and stepson! Those sausages are definitely affordable, but vegetarian sausage is even cheaper 🙂
Perfect! I love the colors of the dish which for me is a large portion of the food presentation. I simply dislike trying to eat something that is bland in appearance. I can’t wait to try this recipe soon!
That sounds so good! I love goat cheese! Definitely need to try this!
My Walmart didn’t have the cheddar flavor – but the Original is awesome! I love orecchiette and I think it’s underused. The way the little “ears” pick up the sauce is so yummy. My hubby would love this – I’ll try it for him with the original flavor. Thanks!
I love that you used real garlic gloves! Jack Links is a big favorite of mine; they’re such a great brand. The recipes looks really good – something even my picky 10 year old bonus daughter would eat LOL! Now that you’ve made me hungry LOL, I am off to pin this for later and find something that won’t be as good as this looks!
What an awesome way to use those sausages! We can only get the plain and jalapeno here in AZ, I’m DYING to try the cheddar.
This looks like the perfect way to use them 😉
As they browned the cheddar was sizzling with the sausage,I was glad I was cooking because I got to do pretasting. LOL
That looks pretty good. Meijer has a spinach and mozzarella cheese chicken sausage that I like as well.
