My husband and I enjoy the hearty flavor combinations in this meal, relates Karen Martis form Merrillville, Indiana. She often makes it with orzo and uses a can of zucchini in tomato sauce to speed preparation even further.
Ingredients:
1 pound italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
2 medium zucchini, sliced
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 cup picante sauce
2 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 cups cooked small shell pasta
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Add zucchini; saute 2 minutes longer. Drain. Stir in tomato sauce, picante sauce, onions, garlic, sugar and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in pasta and Parmesan cheese; heat through. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 7 servings.
