Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
½ pound spicy Italian sausage
¼ red onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup Marsala wine
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
½ cup fresh sliced mushrooms
2 cups chicken stock
¼ cup blanched green peas

Steps:

  • In a large pot with boiling salted water cook penne pasta until al dente. Drain.
