Sausage and Pepper Fusilli

The hardest part of cooking this dish is thawing the sausage.  This easy and tasty pasta dish cooks up in minutes.  It great for a night when you want a wholesome meal fast. I like to use spinach and tomato fusilli for an extra flavor kick. 

Ingredients:
13 oz box of  Fusilli

1 lb pork sausage (you can substitute chicken or turkey sausage)

1 bell pepper

1 small onion

4 tbs parsley

8 oz Bocconcini

juice from 1 lemon

4 oz white wine

1 tbs olive oil

3 cloves garlic

makes 6 servings

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package.  Rinse and drain.

In a skillet on medium heat brown sausage. Add peppers, onions and garlic, cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.  Add parsley, spinach,  lemon juice, white wine and olive oil.  Cook on low heat for an additional 1-2 minutes or until spinach is wilted.

Combine pasta and sausage pepper mixture.  Mix in bocconcinis and cook on low for 2-3 minutes until bocconcinis are warm and starting to melt.
