Ingredients
- 340g bow tie pasta
- 450g Italian sausage
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 can (410g) diced tomatoes
- 120ml chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the bow tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about a cup of pasta water.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Transfer sausage to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell peppers. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in diced tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, dried basil, and dried oregano. Bring mixture to a simmer.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked bow tie pasta to the skillet and toss until well combined with the sauce and sausage. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
- Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage or add red pepper flakes to taste.
- This Italian sausage pasta tastes even better the next day.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat leftovers by adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
