Sausage Pasta
Hearty sausage, saucy pasta, and plenty of cheese—this one-skillet dinner is weeknight comfort made easy.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ¾ lb ground Italian sausage
- 1 diced white onion or 1 yellow bell pepper diced
- 2 cups penne pasta
- 24 oz marinara sauce
- 24 oz water I fill the pasta jar with water to make measuring easy
- Salt and pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot add the sausage and cook on medium heat through. Once cooked remove any access grease.
- Add the diced bell pepper and saute for about two minutes to soften.
- Add the pasta, marinara sauce, water, and seasonings stir everything to combine and bring up to a boil then drop it down to a simmer and cover with a lid and simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until the pasta is tender. Stir frequently so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. You can always add 1/2 cup more water in if the pasta has absorbed all of the liquid while simmering.
- Now that the pasta is tender to the way you like it to be add the mozzarella cheese in and stir to combine. Enjoy
