I made this last night and it's tastes awesome. Seems like it would be a good sauce for the night before a race or big ride since you can get a lot of carbs from the pasta and small amount of protein from the chicken.
I'm not the most educated when it comes to nutrition though, anybody have comments?

1 lb chicken-cilantro sausage, casing removed
