1 package Italian Turkey Sausage
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can/jar/bottle of marinara sauce
1/2 cup hot pasta waterhot pasta to serve Parmesan cheese to serve
Directions:
In a non-stick pot, pour about 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of the pot and turn the heat up to medium high. Add the sausages to the pot, and cook, turning frequently, until firm and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the pot to a cutting board.
If there is still water in the pot, go ahead and add your onions and peppers. If there is not water in the pot, you can either add more water, or a few tablespoons of olive oil to keep the onions and peppers from sticking. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the onions and peppers until soft, about 5 minutes or so. **At this point you have a choice, you can continue cooking the onions and peppers by themselves until the brown, or you can continue with the recipe at this point, it’s completely your choice.
Add the garlic to the peppers and onions, and cook for about two minutes. Pour in the marinara, and bring to a simmer.
Meanwhile, slice the Italian sausage into chunks. Slide the sausage, and any accumulated juices into the marinara and simmer the whole mixture for five to ten minutes. Just before serving, stir in the 1/2 cup reserved pasta water.
Serve over hot pasta, and topped with Parmesan cheese.
Serves four.
