Simple Italian Sausage Pasta Sauce image

This is great on pasta or rice. It's very easy and doesn't use a lot of ingredients. You could even add a can of Cannellini or Pinto beans (drained and rinsed) when you add the tomatoes to make the foundation for a basic sausage stew.

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb Italian sausage (not in the casing)
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (diced with juice)
1 -2 tablespoon flour (if desired, used it for thickening)
2 -3 green onions, diced

Steps:

  • In a medum-sized sauce pan, brown sausage, bell pepper and onion. Make sure vegies are tender.
  • Drain off grease.
  • Add stewed tomatoes, green onion 1-2 Tbsp of flour (for thickening--I added this to the tomatoes in separate medium-sized bowl and mixed it vigorously with a whisk. Then I added it, along with the green onion to the pan. If you like a thin sauce, don't do this step).
  • Bring to a boil over HIGH heat, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce to low-med, simmer covered for 15 min and uncovered for 15 min, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve over pasta or rice with a nice salad on the side with garlic bread.
