Ingredients 

  • 8 ounces pasta, rotini, penne, rigatoni
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 ounces smoked or Italian sausage, fully cooked, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 large green bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, undrained
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of salt, optional
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions 

  • Put a pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, add the sausage and sauté just until it starts to brown around the edges, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the onion and continue cooking until softened, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add the garlic and green pepper and combine well.
  • Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the green pepper is crisp tender, 2 minutes, then stir in the tomatoes. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste and a pinch of salt if needed.
  • Cover the pan and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until the peppers are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cover to keep warm while you cook and drain the pasta according to package directions.
  • Combine the pasta with the sausage and peppers and stir in the sour cream. Serve immediately.
