Bow Ties with Sausage and Sweet Peppers

Start to Finish: 25 minutes

Ingredients:
8 ounces dried bow tie pasta
1/4 pound fresh spicy Italian sausage links
2 medium sweet peppers, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup vegetable broth or beef broth
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions:
1) Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, cut sausage into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet cook sausage and sweet peppers over medium-high heat until sausage is brown. Drain off fat.
2) Add broth and black pepper to skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain pasta. Toss pasta with sausage mixture.

Servings: 4

Notes: Most pasta dishes without actual sauce, my husband thinks are too dry, but not this dish. The spicy sausage was delicious, especially with the compliment of the beef broth.

Variations: We used "Fred Meyer Ground Hot Sausage" instead of sausage links. Very spicy and yummy!

Estimated Price: $6.00 (with the recipe doubled)
