This is one of my favorite pasta dishes & one I think you will enjoy. I like to use Whole Wheat pasta as I feel it gives more of a bite and is healthier. :-) Ingredients:
4 italian sausages |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 red onion, cut into wedges |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes |
1 red pepper, cut into strips |
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2 tablespoons oregano |
2 tablespoons chopped parsley |
300 g whole wheat fusilli |
Directions:
1. In a medium non-stick pan over high heat, brown the sausages in one tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium and sweat the onions& garlic in the remaining oil two minutes.
3. While onions& garlic are cooking, slice the sausages into 1/4 inch thick slices.
4. Add the tomatoes, red pepper, chili flakes, sugar, oregano and sausages to the pan and simmer covered until the red peppers soften (about 10 minutes).
5. Cook the fusilli according to package instructions.
6. Drain well and place into bowls, cover with sauce.
7. Top with freshly chopped parsley and/or freshly grated cheese.
