Ingredients
12 oz Italian turkey sausage links
2 medium red bell peppers, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
24 oz marinara sauce
12 oz penne pasta
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey sausage links, cook until browned and slightly crisped (6-8 minutes), then remove with a slotted spoon.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil (optional) to the skillet with garlic and sauté 1 minute. Stir in bell peppers—cook until softened (4-5 minutes).
Pour in marinara sauce, bring to a simmer, and cook 8-10 minutes.
Return cooked sausage to the skillet, toss to coat in sauce, and cook 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Add cooked pasta to the pan, stirring until evenly coated and warmed.
Notes
Use halal-certified turkey sausage or substitute with plant-based sausage.
Bell peppers can be yellow/orange for color variation.
Olive oil is optional but boosts flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
