Description

This comforting one-pot dish combines the convenience of pasta with the robust flavors of Italian-American cuisine. Lean turkey sausage provides a healthy protein base, browned to perfection before being simmered with sweet red and spicy green peppers. The sauce is built with canned tomatoes, aromatic garlic, and a hint of cayenne for warmth, thickened slightly with cornstarch for a rich consistency that clings to the noodles. The spaghetti cooks directly in the sauce, absorbing every bit of flavor from the sausage and vegetables. It is a quick, satisfying weeknight dinner that feels homemade and hearty, perfect for feeding a family without spending hours in the kitchen. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large Dutch oven or deep skillet, brown the turkey sausage over medium-high heat until cooked through and lightly crisp.
  2. Add the thinly sliced green peppers, red peppers, and onion to the pot with the sausage.
  3. Sauté the vegetables and sausage for about 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes with their liquid, minced garlic, hot pepper sauce, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper.
  5. Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth.
  7. Pour the broth mixture into the pot with the sausage and vegetables.
  8. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
  9. Add the uncooked spaghetti to the pot, breaking it in half if necessary to fit.
  10. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
