Ingredients
2 TB garlic, minced2 medium onions, diced1 red pepper, diced10 oz. (small) portobello mushrooms, sliced1 TB olive oil1 package Smart Chicken Italian Sausage (5 links)1 box Healthy Harvest Rotini Pasta (13.25 oz) 1 jar Barilla Mushroom and Garlic Pasta Sauce
Directions
This makes 7 servings of approximately 2 cups each. I'm putting it in the poultry category since I used chicken sausage. Put water on to boil for the pasta. Heat up a large frying pan with 1 TB of olive oil (you can skip this to lower the calorie count a bit and use a little water instead or an oil spray). Add the onion and the red pepper, cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 or 2 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook. (Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to directions. ) Slice up the Italian sausage into "coins" and add to the veggies. Let it continue to cook over medium heat until the pasta is done. Drain the pasta and return the the pan it was cooked in. Pour in the Pasta Sauce and the veggies and sausage. Stir it all up and serve.
