Sausage Skillet Pasta

This Italian sausage recipe gives a different kick to the traditional pasta recipes. It can be used as a side dish or full meal. The possibilities are endless, this is a recipe you can make your own. I added black olive to this along with red pepper and onion. Other options could be mushrooms, green pepper, green olive…anything you want!

I chose corkscrew and bowtie pasta, which turned out to be a great combination. Penne pasta would also be a good alternative to try out. This is a very easy recipe and if you love Italian dressing, this is for you. I love how unique this pasta dish is, it allows your creative cooking skills to take over and improvise! 

 Ingredients: Italian dressing, pasta, sausage, black olive, 1 red pepper, 1 large onion, grated parmesan cheese

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Place the sausage links in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally until firm and cooked through.

In a separate larger skillet, combine the red pepper, black olive, onion and Italian dressing. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

   Stir the sausages into the vegetables. Continue to cook and stir for another 5 minutes. Note: for the best sausage stuffer, check out the link!
