If you are on a lower sodium diet, leave out the salt. It will be a little higher than we post for recipes labeled "low sodium" here at Dr. Gourmet, but only by about 25 mg.
I generally look for sausage that contains 300 mg of sodium per ounce. Recently we reviewed sausages from Applegate Farms and I used the Chicken and Sage Breakfast Sausage for this recipe because it is widely available, fairly low in sodium and we found it tasty.

This recipe can easily be multiplied and makes fair leftovers. Reheat gently. This recipe also requires making Sun Dried Tomato Pesto.
Place the water in a large stock pot over high heat.
When the water begins to boil, add the pasta. Stir occasionally.
While the water is heating, place a medium skillet over medium high heat.
Add the sausage. Cook for about two minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the leek and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the tomato, salt, pepper, goat cheese and pesto along with 1/2 cup of water from the pasta pot.
