In spite of me not loving sausages, this was a very tasty dish. Do not subsitute in mild sausages, you need the spice to make this meal work - and with all the pasta and peppers it isn't really that spicy.
Enjoy!
Spicy Sausage & Peppers Penne
8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
1 pound hot Italian turkey sausage (about 4 links)
1 each: medium green, red and yellow bell pepper, cut into ¼ inch strips
½ cup coarsely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
1 can (398 ml) diced tomatoes in sauce, un-drained
1 can (225 ml) can tomato sauce
2 tsp PC Italian Seasoning Mix*
¼ cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and keep warm.
Meanwhile, cook sausage in skillet over medium-high heat 14-16 minutes or until sausage is lightly browned and no longer pink, turning occasionally. Remove sausage from skillet; cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the bell peppers, onion and garlic over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until peppers are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add sauces, tomatoes, tomato sauce and seasoning mix. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
Place pasta in a large bowl; pour sauce mixture over pasta, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
*Italian Seasoning can be substituted for the Italian Seasoning Mix, if desired.
Yield: 6 servings
