Italian Pasta with Sausage
This is a tasty and filling meal. It can be prepared in your cast iron skillet, but it’s not quite a 1 pan dish since you need to cook the pasta separately. This goes great with some wine and a nice fresh salad.
Italian Pasta with Sausage
Ingredients
- 1 # box of Penne pasta
- 1 # Italian Sausage sliced on the bias
- 1 green bell pepper cut into bite size pieces
- 1 red bell pepper cut into bite size pieces
- ½ white onion cut into bite size pieces
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large jar of pasta sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring well salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook to al dente; drain.
- While the pasta is boiling, heat oil in a skillet and sauté the sliced sausages, over medium heat until browned. Keep turning and stirring to prevent burning. Don’t overcrowd the pan; you may have to do it multiple batches.
- When the sausages are done, cook the onions and the peppers. Add the garlic when the onions are about done.
- Add the sausage and the pasta sauce to the skillet and simmer.
- When the pasta is firmly al dente add that to the sauce too.
- Simmer for another 10 minutes until heated through.
