Easy Dinner: Tuscan Sausage & Pepper Spaghetti
This recipe takes advantage of the incredible speed and flavor of a simple, yet deeply satisfying, pasta dish. It’s perfect for meal prep and even better when you cook a double batch!
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 1 lb Italian sausage (casings removed)
- 1 bottle of marinara sauce (or a mix of fresh tomatoes)
- 2-3 bell peppers (any color, chopped)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 8 oz spaghetti or penne
- Seasonings: Dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper
Simple Steps for Success:
- Brown the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Sauté the Veggies: Add the chopped peppers and onion to the pot. Cook until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine and Simmer: Pour in the marinara sauce and stir in the seasonings. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it bubble for 10 minutes to deepen the flavor.
- Cook the Pasta: Add the spaghetti directly to the sauce (or cook the pasta separately and toss it in). Cook until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve and Repeat: Garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese.
