Pasta with sausage and peppers is an easy dinner idea that is filling, flavorful, and makes great leftovers for lunch the next day!

Pasta with Sausage and Peppers

Italian sausage links (about ½ lb.) (2.40)

Tbsp cooking oil (0.04)

red bell pepper (1.50)

onion

24 ounces. jar pasta sauce (1.67)

basil (0.05)

tsp dried oregano (0.05)

tsp crushed red pepper (0.02)

penne pasta (0.67)

feta, crumbled (0.69)

Tbsp chopped parsley (optional) (0.10)

Heat a large skillet over medium. Add the cooking oil and sausage links to the skillet and cook the sausage for a few minutes on each side, or until well browned (it does not need to be cooked through at this point).

Remove the sausage to a clean cutting board and slice the sausage into medallions. Return the sausage to the skillet and continue to cook until the sausage is cooked through and browned on the cut sides. Remove the sausage to a clean plate.

Meanwhile, slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet after removing the sausage. Stir and cook the vegetables over medium heat, just until they begin to soften slightly.

Add the sausage back to the skillet along with the pasta sauce, basil, oregano, and red pepper to the skillet. Stir everything to combine and heat through.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once boiling, add the pasta and continue to boil until tender (about 7 minutes). Drain the pasta in a colander, then add it to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce.

Top the skillet with crumbled feta and chopped parsley (if desired), then serve.

Gently stir in sausage, pasta, red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup of the reserved water or more if needed and grated Parmesan. Adjust salt and pepper if needed and toss well; transfer to a large serving bowl. Enjoy with some extra cheese on the side.

I have made this twice. Once with feta spinach chicken sausage and navy beans and once with hot Italian turkey sausage and chick peas. Both were amazing! I love that's so versatile. Hubby even likes it with the spinach!

This is absolutely delicious! Thank you again.

Made this again for the millionth time and it is ridiculously good. And all I keep thinking is please team up with RFK!  You are the epitome of keeping america healthy! I’d love to back you on this, you’ve changed my life, my husbands life, my friends life. You can help get everyone healthier! I adore you and I’d love to see you in this movement. You deserve to be front and center!

After making this dish, my husband and I were not throughly convinced that we liked it. We took one bite then another. By the time we finished eating, we were laughing delightfully about how much we liked it. I will certainly make it again.

Made this but when done put in a baked spaghetti squash instead of using pasta. We loved it. I also had a green pepper wanted to use and added at same time as onion, and also steamed broccoli rabe that I added in instead of escarole. Liked the white beans added to this. This is a favorite. Loved it.

We really enjoyed this. I’ll probably try it with a little lemon zest to lighten it up a bit next time, as well as some mushrooms.

This was easy to make, and quick to get to the table! Love to add extra cheese!

Easy and delicious. I substituted baby spinach for the escarole since I had that available.

This is such a winning combination!  Looking to lighten this up even more?  Skip the pasta and up the chicken stock and turn this into soup!  My soup recipe is almost identical to yours minus the pasta.  So good!  Thanks for all of the great recipes, Gina - your recipes have septs us eating healthy for years!

I have only seen one review that said light on flavor.  Yours.
