Description

We love Italian sausage sandwiches, but because the bread isn't diet-friendly for me, I created this recipe to satisfy my craving. If you like some heat, use hot peppers in place of the sweet peppers.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups uncooked whole wheat spiral pasta
  • 1 pound italian turkey sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1 large sweet yellow pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, in large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium-high heat until sausage is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add zucchini and peppers; cook until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender and begin to release their juices, 5-7 minutes. Serve with pasta.
