#1,130: Italian Sausage Skillet Dinner


This sure was an easy dinner to make.  I also made most of it ahead of time, so that the night we were eating it I could just reheat the sauce, add in the noodles and cook until the noodles were done.  So much easier to get dinner on the table for my hungry family during the week.  There's nothing super special to this recipe, and the flavor will definitely change based on the type of sausage you use, so use one that you love!  It also could have used some more seasoning and crushed red pepper, but overall it was good.

1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
2 cloves garlic
24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
2 cups water
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
8 oz uncooked radiatorre pasta (I used elbow noodles)
1/4 c parmesan cheese

In a non-stick skillet, brown sausage and break up into smaller pieces.  Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more.  Add sauce, water, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.  Add pasta and bring sauce to a boil.  Turn heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 12 minutes.  Remove skillet from heat and stir in parmesan cheese.  Let stand uncovered for 5-10 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
