Yield 6 People

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small cabbage, shredded
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 - 15 Oz. cans chicken broth
1 - 15 Oz. can tomatoes with basil and oregano (you could use regular tomatoes and add 1/2 tsp. each dried basil and oregano)
1 pound package pre-cooked Mozzarella and garlic chicken
1 - 13.25 Oz. box whole wheat penne

Steps:

Sauté with a little olive oil, the cabbage, bell pepper, onion and garlic in large dutch oven or wok over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally and when the cabbage mixture has cooked down to about half the volume, add tomatoes and chicken broth along with the sausage. Once it comes to a boil, add pasta and cook until pasta is al dente. If the mixture becomes dry to where it starts burning and the pasta isn't absorbing anymore water but is dry, turn down the heat a notch to medium add 2 cups water or more over time and cook until the pasta is al dente. You want the liquid to be absorbed by the pasta but not runny. (The amount of liquid is dependent on the amount of moisture in the cabbage) Serve with grated Parmesan Romano cheese.
