Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz pasta (like penne or rigatoni)
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (sliced) Fresh sausage links recommended.
  • 1 bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 onion (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 14 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth Vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian option.

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Incorporate the sliced bell pepper and onion into the pot and cook until softened, about another 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Add the pasta, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  6. Once the pasta is cooked, serve it hot with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
