This was easy and very good. Took about 30-40 minutes to prepare. Came from a family fun magazine. I used frozen bell peppers.
1 pkg (19 oz) Italian Mild Sausage Links (cook according to package directions)
1 pkg (16 oz) penne pasta, cooked & drained
1 T olive oil
1 medium green pepper, julienned
1 medium sweet red bell pepper, julienned
1 medium onion, halved and sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce, heated (used Newmans Own)
Cook sausage according to package directions. Cut into 1/2" pieces and set aside.
In a skillet heat oil over medium heat and saute peppers, onion and garlic until vegetables are crisp tender. Start cooking pasta and heat up marinara sauce.
Add sliced sausage and saute until warmed through.
Divide prepared pasta in bowls; top with marinara sauce and sausage vegetable mixture.
