This quick Italian Style dish will provide a nice meal for one, or with a green salad, a light lunch for two. I found pre-cooked Italian sausage packaged for use on homemade pizza in a grocery store, but uncooked links or bulk sausage could also be cooked in advance and add to this colorful dish. Ingredients:
1/3 lb cooked italian sausage (cooked weight) |
6 ounces dry pasta (farfalle or bow tie is nice) |
1/3 cup green bell pepper |
1/3 cup onion |
1 garlic clove, sliced thin |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
salt |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Place pasta in 2 quarts of salted water and cook until soft, which should take about 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Chop the pepper and onions into half inch pieces and saute in olive oil.
3. After 5 minutes, add the garlic, basil, and the tomato sauce and simmer until it starts to thicken.
4. If the sauce become to thick, add a little of the water from the pasta.
5. Add the precooked sausage to the vegetable and sauce mixture, and stir over low heat while waiting until the pasta is done.
6. Add drained pasta to the pan, stir, check to see if salt is needed, and plate.
7. Serve with grated parmesan cheese.
