Sausage and Pepper Pasta Bake
Sautéed turkey sausage and vibrant bell peppers tossed with chickpea penne in a zesty marinara, then baked until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Italian turkey sausage
0.75 oz dry chickpea penne pasta
1 cup sliced bell peppers
0.5 cup tomato puree
1 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
0 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea penne for 2 minutes less than the package directions; drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Remove the turkey sausage from its casing and add it to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon until browned.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the tomato puree, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, allowing the sauce to simmer for 2 minutes.
Fold the par-cooked pasta into the sausage and pepper mixture until everything is thoroughly coated in sauce.
Top the mixture evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly browned on top.
