Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box penne pasta noodles
1 lb smoked turkey sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/4 c vlassic roasted red pepper strips, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 pkg (small) frozen broccoli florets
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. Add a dash of salt, and then the Penne. Add broccoli to the boiling water about 5 minutes before the pasta is done. Cook until both noodles & broccoli are tender. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add crushed red pepper, garlic, peppers and sausage. Saute ingredients until heated through. Turn heat to low until pasta is done.
3. After you drain your pasta/broccoli, return it to your big pot. Pour sausage mixture over noodles and stir well to combine. Can serve with shredded cheese over the top!
