Tasty Tuesday: Jambalaya Pasta


I really like this pasta recipe. Very easy, yummy, healthy, and more than your average marinara sauce.
Jambalaya Pasta

Serves 6
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound low fat smoked turkey sausage -- cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic --pressed
1 27 1/2-ounce jar spaghetti sauce -- your favorite
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
cayenne pepper -- to taste
12 ounces linguine -- uncooked


In a skillet over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Add sausage; cook over medium heat until lightly browned, stirring frequently.
Add the chopped peppers, onion and garlic; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until tender.
Stir in pasta sauce and remaining ingredients except pasta. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cook 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Spoon sauce over hot pasta.


I've also done this recipe with sauteed mushrooms and zucchini in place of the sausage. Enjoy!
