Quick and flavorful Italian ziti with spicy sausage and fire-roasted tomatoes for dinner tonight.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups uncooked ziti pasta (7 oz)
  • 2 cups bite-size fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 package (19.5 oz) lean hot Italian turkey sausage, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into bite-size strips
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into bite-size strips
  • 1 medium sweet onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted crushed or diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (4 oz)
Instructions:
  • Prepare pasta according to package instructions, remember to add broccoli for the final 2 minutes of cooking. Once done, drain the pasta and broccoli together and return to the saucepan, covering to maintain warmth.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, sauté sausage over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet after draining excess grease.
  • Heat oil in the skillet over medium heat. Saute bell peppers and onion for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Combine pasta, broccoli, sausage, and tomatoes in a skillet. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with cheese, cover, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is melted.
