Recipe: Sausage Pepper Pasta

[ 8 ] 02/07/2010 |

I’m no cook. I try, but really I’m more of a Preparer. Or a Combiner.

Yeah. Combiner. That’s what I am. I like to find recipes with the fewest number of ingredients so that I have less of a chance to mess it up.

Which is why this is one of my favorite recipes to make. It’s one of the FEW recipes where I don’t need an actual paper in front of me to know how to make it. And it tastes good. AND the kids eat it. BONUS!

Without further ado, I present to you Sausage Pepper Pasta (I’ll give you 3 guesses what’s in it…)

14 oz. package turkey kielbasa, sliced into “coins”
1 each red, green, yellow bell peppers, sliced
1/2 jar (or more) pasta sauce
pasta

  1. Cook the pasta.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, brown the turkey kielbasa in a skillet.
  3. Add the sliced peppers to the skillet and cook for a little bit.
  4. Add the pasta sauce to the skillet and turn down to simmer until sauce is heated through.
  5. Drain the pasta.
  6. Put the sausage/pepper/sauce mixture over the cooked pasta.
  7. Devour.

This recipe will serve 4. The Weight Watchers Points Value will vary a little depending on which pasta sauce and pasta you use, but generally speaking the range will be between 7 and 10 points.

Happy Eating!

    I'm not sure what I like most about this recipe….that it's so easy or that I have everything here already to make it. Thanks for the recipe. It sounds yummy.

    I'm the same way. The less ingredients the better. I also need a picture so I can see what it's suppose to look like. If it's a recipe that involves making bread there's a 92% chance that my dish won't come close to the picture.

    I always thought I was a mixer but I like combiner much better.

    I'm a pretty simple person when it comes to eating. Just give me some basic ingredients and tell me to combine them all together and I'm a happy momma! Not to mention if everyone can/will it that makes it even better! Thanks for the easy to fix meal idea, Thea!

    i'm a “combiner” like you. and you'd better believe we're having this for dinner this week.

    according to the daily plate with one serving of pasta and one brat (i'm cheating and using what I have instead…) one serving would be about 480 calories.

    Thanks a landlord it! I acquired yet some insight. Life is so colorful, we should be able to live in, such as Korea and honor the planet. Human life is like rivers, slowly flowing, flowing rivers, flowing through the snow, flows through the prairie and ultimately into the sea, return to the embrace of nature, start a new reincarnation. Allow us to feel the meaning of life will come only to those you have those memories http://www.cheap-nikeshox.com/nike-shox-TL1.html

    I might tweet ten or twenty times some days, my Twitter stream was too large for most of my Facebook friends. Worse, I was confusing people on Facebook when they would see a reply or a re-tweet that made no sense out of context.
