Italian Garden and Sausage Bowl

half a pound of italian sausage (3 links)
half a medium onion
half a large green pepper
3 small zucchini
1 medium summer squash
4 italian roma tomatoes
some fresh herbs - basil, oregano, parsley
1 tbsp olive oil
half a pound of macaroni

Put on a pot of water for your macaroni

Heat up a large sauté pan on medium

Slice your sausage or remove from casing and break up

Spray the hot pan with cooking spray and add your sausage

Add your macaroni to boiling water with salt to taste... stir and bring back to boil

While that's cooking, slice up your veggies

Stir your sausage until pink color is gone, then add the sliced onions and pepper and toss around... let cool for 2 minutes

Add the zucchini and squash, toss around and cover... cook for 3 minutes

Add the diced tomatoes and any fresh chopped herbs you like, a pinch of salt (optional), toss around, cover and cook for 2 minutes

While that's finishing up, check the pasta and drain when done

Take the pan of sausage and veggies off the heat and drizzle with olive oil

Either add the pasta to the sausage and veggies and toss, or divide the pasta between 4 large bowls and spoon the sausage and veggies on top... sprinkle with a little more fresh herbs or some cheese(optional)

This will make 4 hearty servings

Enjoy!
