Sausage Pepper Pasta

This is a quick dinner for busy school nights.

 

Sausage Pepper Pasta

 

16 oz bulk sausage

2 peppers--any assortment of colors

1 small onion

1 jar spaghetti sauce

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

16 oz whole wheat pasta

Parmesan cheese (optional)

 

 

Start by getting your water boiling for your pasta. I usually use penne pasta, but any shape will do.  Chop your peppers and onions into bite-size pieces.  Brown up the sausage.

 

Drain the grease and transfer the sausage to a plate covered with paper towels. Put the vegetables in the same pan and saute until tender.  (Covering the pan with a lid makes this step quicker.)

Add the spaghetti sauce and Italian seasoning and let simmer for about 5 minutes.

When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add to the sauce.

 

 Mix together and top with parmesan cheese.
