Ingredients:

1/2 lb. Pappardelle’s Whole Wheat Garlic Fettuccine
14 oz. ground hot Italian chicken sausage
1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1 (12-oz.) jar roasted red peppers, diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
Salt & pepper, to taste
1-½ cups crushed tomatoes
½ cup chicken broth
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions: 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook sausage, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Add olive oil to the skillet and add onions, roasted peppers, garlic and salt & pepper. Cook until onions are golden, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain. 
  5. Gently toss pasta with sauce and add Parmesan cheese, stirring to combine, about 2 minutes.
  6. Divide the pasta into serving dishes and top with sauce. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan. Serve and enjoy!
