Sausage Pepper Pasta
Ingredients:
- 1 package of pasta (12 oz)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pack of COLEMAN ORGANIC® Spinach Chicken Sausage, cut into thin slices
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp chicken base
- 3/4 cup of thick cream
- 1 tbsp garlic paste
- Season with pepper as desired

The Chicken Sausages truly transform meal prep, making it more efficient and health-conscious.

And because COLEMAN ORGANIC® Spinach Chicken Sausage is ready to eat, it’s a breeze to integrate into recipes like this one.
Directions:
- Begin by setting water to boil, then cook your pasta for 2-3 minutes less than the recommended time on its packaging.
- As that’s happening, get your veggies and sausage ready: chop the peppers and onions, and slice your sausage thinly.
- Heat up the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and toss in your vegetables and sausage. Cook until the veggies are tender and the sausage gets a light golden hue.
- Drain your pasta, but ensure you hold back about a cup of the pasta water. A handy way I use is with a slotted spoon to drain most of the water, retaining approximately a cup in the pot.
- Time to amp up the flavors: Stir in the chicken base (or bouillon cubes if you prefer), thick cream, and garlic paste. Mix thoroughly and let your pasta simmer in the sauce, thickening it. Also, incorporate your previously cooked peppers, onions, and sausage.
- After the sauce has reached a creamy consistency, which typically takes about 3-5 minutes, it’s ready to be savored!
This dish can be enjoyed warm right off the stove or chilled for a refreshing pasta salad at events. And if you like, dust it with a bit of pepper before serving.
This recipe offers pasta that’s lightly dressed in a velvety sauce, brimming with taste. Feel free to modify it using your loved ones’ preferred pasta variant and any other spices that resonate with your household’s palate.
