Sausage and Peppers Pasta

April 21, 2022

Sausage and Peppers Pasta is a wonderful weeknight dinner that is packed full of flavor and ready in just 30 minutes. Cooked sausage is mixed together with onion, garlic and tomatoes then tossed with your favorite pasta. Garnish with parmesan cheese and dinner is served!

Sausage and Peppers Pasta

I love a good and hearty meal…so does my family! Sausage and Peppers is just that – it’s filling and is delicious. 

I love the Italian sausage links from Costco. I freeze them and thaw them (they thaw super quickly) for all sorts of meals. They are not spicy so the kiddos love them, too! And they are already flavored so nicely that they often naturally flavor the entire meal. 

Sausage and Peppers Pasta

This dinner comes together very quickly and does not require a ton of clean up. I simply chop up all the vegetables and sauté them in olive oil. I then remove them from the pot and brown the sausage in the same pot (less clean up!!). Once the sausage is cooked, add a can of tomatoes, the vegetables, some spices and let it simmer for a bit. While the sauce is cooking, boil up some pasta. Stir it all together once everything is cooked and a hot meal is ready for serving!
