Pasta-Sausage Casserole

 

This has some of my favorite food, sausage, pasta, Brussels sprouts, and tomatoes. If you make this, you can substitute in every area. You could use chopped meat or meat balls instead of the sausage. You could use another vegetable in place of the sprouts, (corn, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower or even spinach. I would leave the pasta and tomatoes in place but choose any pasta you want.

Sausage-Pasta Casserole (two servings)

Ingredients:

2 large sausages, cut into about 8 pieces each

1/2 pound pasta of choice – I used penne (gluten-free)

10 ounces Brussels sprouts

1 medium onion, sliced

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 red pepper, sliced

4 tablespoons crushed tomatoes (canned)

Spray cooking oil

Method:

Put up water to boil and while browning, cook the pasta according to directions.

Microwave or boil Brussels sprouts.

Spray a large skillet with cooking oil and fry sausages in it until they are lightly browned.

Remove sausage. Do not clean skillet.Fry red pepper and onion until slightly browned

.

Add fresh tomatoes.

Add pasta and Brussels sprouts.

Add crushed tomatoes. If you need more crushed tomatoes, add what is necessary. There is also juice from the fresh tomatoes for the sauce.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Mix all ingredients gently together. I put these in a casserole and heated them in the oven for twenty minutes on 300 degrees.

It was a success.
