  • 16-ounce pkg. penne pasta
  • 1 pkg. Jennie-O Italian turkey sausage (19.5 oz.)
  • 1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced or diced
  • 1 green pepper, thinly sliced or diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or minced
  • 1 can petite diced tomatoes (14.5 oz.)
  • 1 can tomato sauce (8 oz.)
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. dried basil

Cook the penne according to the directions on the package.  Meanwhile, slice the turkey sausages and start cooking/browning in a nonstick pan.  (I removed the casings…partially frozen sausages are easier to slice).  Add the sliced peppers and garlic and saute.  (May need to add some nonstick cooking spray or a little olive oil).  Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings and let simmer for a little while.  Pour the sausage and vegetable mixture over the drained pasta and stir well.  Serve!
