Italian Stir Fry

Seen many versions of this dish over the years but this is the one I came up w to marry my fav...pasta w my moms fav...Italian gyros! Its delicious, very easy & pretty quick!!

Ingredient

Cooking time :

35 mins

1 packages

Italian sausages (mild, hot or sweet) cooked & browned on both sides

small or medium green pepper sliced in thin strips & then cut strips in half

small red, yellow or white onion sliced into strips

1 1/2 tbsp

garlic, finely minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tbsp

dried Italian seasoning or 1 tbsp dried oregano

1 1/2 tsp

dried parsley or bout 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley

1 can

diced tomatoes (do not drain)

1/2 lb

or whats needed of ur favorite pasta cooked & drained (i use spaghetti or rotini but used elbow mac this time)

1 1/2 cup

to 2 cups of ur favorite pasta sauce or even marinara or pizza sauce

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Fry ur sausages in oil in large skillet, take out when done, set aside & let rest 10 minutes

* Step 2

While ur sausages r resting saute or "stir fry" ur peppers & onions in same skillet till mostly done, add minced garlic & herbs, stir through, drain oil

* Step 3

Slice sausages diagonally about 1/4 inch thick, add peppers, onions & sliced sausages back to skillet

* Step 4

Add tomatoes & sauce to the skillet with the sausages, stir through & simmer on medium-low for bout 15 minutes or a little longer if u want thicker sauce

* Step 5

After it has cooked then taste the sauce...if it needs salt add a little. If its to tangy or sour u can add a little white sugar or I use 1 tbsp of grape jelly to balance the flavor & the slight hint of grape gives it a nice flavor...almost like red wine! Don't use any other flavor jelly, jam or preserves because u don't want chunks of fruit or seeds in ur sauce!

* Step 6

Spoon this over ur cooked pasta! Also just to let u know if u don't have or don't use pasta this is also delicious over white or brown rice! Yumminess!! Hope u all love this dish as much as we do!!

* Step 7

Just a little note so u know... This usually feeds bout 3-5 people depending on how big of an appetite they may have... U can usually get more or less servings by adjusting the amount of pasta or rice u cook but if u have a big family or big eaters then I'd suggest doubling the recipe! :)
