Sausage & Peppers Pasta

This recipe is a simple pasta dish that I make with the sausage and peppers left over when I make spaghetti. The quantities can be adjusted for what you have on hand. I usually have 1 or 2 sausages left over and 1/2 a green pepper and onion. It is very fast, simple, and delicious.

• whole grain pasta
  
• 1-3 links hot Italian sausage - cut into small - medium size pieces
• 1/2 to 1 whole green pepper - sliced
• 1/2 to 1 whole onion - sliced
• 3 cloves garlic - minced
• 2tbsp cornstarch
• 2c beef stock or broth
• 1tbsp oregano
• 1tsp red pepper flakes
• salt
• pepper

Cook pasta according to directions on box. Brown sausage, add peppers, onions, and garlic halfway through browning. Cook until peppers and onions are tender. Add cornstarch. Let cook for about 1 minute. Add stock, oregano, red pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 10 - 15 minutes. Serve over pasta and top with Parmesan cheese.
