Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz dairy-free pasta (e.g., penne or fusilli)
- 1 lb dairy-free sausage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 14 oz canned chopped tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dairy-free pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, diced onion, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet and add the canned chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the pasta hot and enjoy a flavorful dairy-free meal.
