This is a new recipe that I have tried. Yes, since I am trying to lose some weight, I am using some low cal/fat recipes as well. (This is a Weight Watchers recipe) It's really a great dish with lots of flavor. I never thought turkey sausage would be appetizing but I couldn't tell......well, maybe a little! ;) I added a little extra onion-just because there can never be enough onion in my food! I even had my 5 year old daughter help me with this one.
Enjoy!
Penne with Peppers and Sausage
Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 20 min
1 sprays cooking spray
2 medium green pepper(s), cut into thin strips
1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
1 medium onion(s), thinly sliced
1 cup mushroom(s), sliced
1 pound raw turkey sausage, spicy-Italian flavor
1/8 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp table salt
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes
3 cup cooked whole wheat pasta, penne, kept hot
6 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper, garlic, onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, until almost tender, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Remove turkey from casings; add to skillet and brown sausage until no longer pink, stirring occasionally, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 6 minutes. Add oregano, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes; stir in tomatoes. Simmer until heated through and to allow flavors to blend, about 5 minutes.
Spoon penne into a deep serving bowl; spoon sausage mixture over top and then sprinkle with cheese. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
