Time to try another new recipe. Here’s what’s for dinner….:-)
Spicy Sausage and Peppers Penne
8 oz. uncooked penne pasta
1 lb. hot Italian turkey sausage
1 each – green, red and yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips
2 garlic cloves, pressed
14 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes in sauce, undrained
8 oz. can tomato sauce
Fresh or dried oregano and basil to taste
1/4 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, cook sausage over medium-high heat in a skillet for 14 to 16 minutes, or until sausage is lightly browned and no longer pink, turning occasionally. Remove sausages from skillet; cut diagonally into 1 inch pieces and set aside. Cut bell peppers into 1/4 inch strips. Coarsely chop onion. In same skillet, cook bell peppers, onion and pressed garlic over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until peppers are tender, stirring occasionally. Add sausage, tomatoes, tomato sauce and herbs. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until thoroughly heated through. Place pasta in large bowl; pour sauce mixture over pasta, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with a salad and some garlic bread.
