Ingredients
  • 1 lb bow tie pasta
  • 1 lb italian sausage (recipe below)
  • olive oil
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into short, thin strips
  • ½ large onion, cut into short, thin strips
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • salt and pepper
  • parmesan cheese
  • shredded mozzarella
for the italian sausage
  • 1 lb ground turkey (NOT ground turkey breast, which is way too lean for this recipe)
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1½ teaspoons whole fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Put a large pot of salted water on to boil. Cook bow tie pasta according to package directions. Drain, and set aside.
  2. While waiting for the water to boil, combine all sausage ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until well-combined. Drizzle a little olive oil in a large skillet, and cook sausage mixture over medium heat until no longer pink. Add peppers and onions, and continue cooking until vegetables are tender.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Add to the skillet and simmer until slightly thickened.
  4. Add sausage and pepper mixture to the drained pasta, toss, and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve topped with parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella.
