Best Italian Skillet Meal Recipes

EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PASTA SKILLET MEAL

Steps:

• Start browning the sausage in a skillet. After a couple of minutes, add the peppers and garlic.
• Meanwhile, start cooking the pasta according to the directions on the packet.
• When the sausage is cooked and the peppers are softened, add the spaghetti sauce, crumble in the chicken stock cube and if preferred, some herbs or italian seasoning.
• Simmer the sausage mixture for at least 5 minutes, until the pasta is ready.
• Add the pasta to the sausage mixture in the skillet and stir. Top with the cheese. Continue warming until the cheese has melted (you could use a broiler/ grill to melt the cheese if, like me, you use low fat cheese and it takes a while to melt!).
