âIâm a big fan of pasta, smoked sausage and cheese, and I love spicy food. This dish has it all,â confirms Lisa Varner of Charleston, South Carolina. âPaired with a salad and bread, it makes a complete meal.â Ingredients:
12 ounces uncooked spaghetti |
1 small onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons canola oil |
1 pound reduced-fat smoked sausage, casings removed and cut into 1/2-inch slices |
1 small green pepper, chopped |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
3/4 cup salsa |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook onion and garlic in oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add sausage and green pepper; cook 4-6 minutes longer or until sausage is lightly browned and vegetables are tender.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, salsa, chili powder and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Drain spaghetti; toss with sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
