By kimvess

Ingredients

• 1 pack sweet Italian sausage (about 6 sausages)
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 med red or green bell pepper, sliced
• 3-4 roma tomatoes (optional)
• 1 jar Tomato Basil Marina Sauce
• 1 pound spaghetti
• parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

Step 1

Pot #1: In medium sauce pot pour out your jar of sauce and 3 -4 chopped roma tomatoes (this is optional but adds a layer of freshness to bottled sauce). And place it on the stove on low. You don’t need to cook this, just heat it through.
Pot #2: Fill a large pot with water and a couple of Tblsp. of salt for your pasta and get it on the stove to bring it to a boil. Cook pasta according to package and drain.
Pot #3: Place your sausages in a 12” sauté pan with a cover. Add ¼ cup of water and cover. Place on the stove on a med-high heat and let cook for 15 min. Drain out what ever water is left in the pan and return to the stove. Add about 1 Tblsp. oil to the pan and brown the sausage. When the sausages are browned place them on a plate and cover them with foil to keep them hot. To the same pan, sauté a sliced large onion and a sliced green or red bell pepper and cook until they are tender but still crisp.
Assemble individually or on a large platter or call everyone to the kitchen to assemble their own.
