List of Ingredients




12 oz radiatore or other short pasta
1 1/2 lb Italian style turkey sausage, sweet or hot
1 large onion, chopped to make 1 cup
2 large green bell peppers, chopped to make 3 cups
1 large red bell pepper, chopped to make 1 1/2 cups
2 t bottled minced garlic
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe



Bring 2 1/2 quarts of unsalted water to a boil in a covered 4 1/2 quart or larger Dutch oven or soup pot. When the water comes to a rapid boil, add pasta and cook till firm tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut the casing off the sausage links. Discard casings. Place the sausage in an extra deep, 12 inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Stir to break up the links. When the pan gets hot and the sausage starts to sizzle, reduce the heat to medium high.

While the sausage cooks, peel and coarsely chop the onion, adding it to the pan as you chop. Continue to stir and break up the sausage meat from time to time. Rinse and seed the green peppers and cut them into bite sized pieces. Add them to the skillet. Rinse and seed the red pepper and cut it into bite sized pieces. Add them to the skillet.

Add the garlic to the pan and stir well. Continue to stir and break up the sausage meat until it is no longer pink.
When the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander placed in the sink. Shake the colander to remove as much water as possible. Pour the pasta back into the cooking pot or into a large serving bowl. Pour the sausage mixture and its juices into the pot or bowl with the pasta. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Stir to mix well. Serve at once.
