Italian Bow Tie Pasta

1 lb. Jimmy Dean Italian Sausage or any that you prefer
olive oil
1 large or 2 small green peppers cut in chunks
1 large onion cut in chunks
1-2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 can Rotel Tomatoes * (mild)
Italian seasoning to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1 lb. Bow Tie Pasta

In large skillet brown sausage, drain and set aside.

 Wipe out skillet, pour 2 - 3 tablespoons olive oil in skillet saute garlic, peppers and onions until tender but not mushy. Don't you just love colorful dishes!

 Sprinkle in salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Pour can of tomatoes and put sausage back into skillet. *I use mild tomatoes but if you like really spicy you can use the hotter ones.

  Cook the pasta separately until al-dente,  drain and pour into skillet with other ingredients.

YUM!

 Serve with a salad. Serves 6 generously
 *This dish can also be made vegetarian. Leave out the sausage and use a veggie pasta, and tofu. If you don't like tofu you can replace the meat with lentils and black beans cooked until tender and then seasoned with Italian seasoning.
