Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
4 fully cooked sausages (sliced into circles 1/4 inch thick)
2 medium zucchini (cubed)
1 onion (cut into 3/4 inch pieces (close to same size as zucchini))
1 bell pepper (any color, cut into 3/4 inch pieces (close to same size as zucchini))
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic (minced)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add sliced sausage. Sautè, flipping sausage frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes or until sausage slices have some browning. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to skillet with the zucchini, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Stir. Let cook until the onion is translucent and peppers and zucchini are close to tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add sausage back to the skillet along with minced garlic. Stir. Cover so everything heats through for 1 to 2 minutes. Taste. Add extra salt if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh basil (optional).

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS PASTA WITH BROCCOLI



Sausage and Peppers Pasta With Broccoli image

The classic Italian combination of sausage and peppers creates a satisfying and easy weeknight meal when combined with pasta. Broccoli is a fantastic nutritious addition that adds texture and cooks up quickly, or you can opt for broccolini or broccoli rabe if you want a more assertive vegetable. Sweet Italian pork sausage is used here, but there's no need to feel tied to the recipe: Substitute with spicy Italian sausage for extra heat, use chicken-apple sausage for a healthier take, or swap in fresh chorizo or breakfast sausage to turn this dinner into brunch.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian pork sausage, casings removed
1 pound broccoli, cut into 1 1/2-inch florets (about 4 cups)
2 medium yellow bell peppers (12 ounces), cored, seeded and thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and pepper
1 pound rigatoni
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat using a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a medium bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the broccoli, peppers and garlic to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until they soften and begin to brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water and drain the pasta. Return the pasta and reserved cooking water to the pot over low heat. Add the broccoli mixture, cooked sausage and its accumulated juices, 1/2 cup Parmesan, the lemon juice and red-pepper flakes and stir vigorously until liquid is slightly thickened and saucy, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the pasta with additional Parmesan for sprinkling on top.

SUPER-EASY SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS



Super-Easy Sausage and Peppers image

A simple and delicious way to serve sausage and peppers with a tomato-based sauce. This is one of my husband's and kids' favorite meals. They like it served over rice because it makes a lot of 'gravy' that soaks into the rice. It 's one of my favorites because it's quick, easy, and has only a few ingredients that I usually have on hand.
