How To Cook Italian Sausage With Vegetables

1. Cut the sausage into bite size pieces (leaving the casing on them) and wash and chop the vegetables.
2. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
3. Add olive oil (1-2 tablespoons) to the pan.
4. Then add and cook the Italian sausage and vegetables on the stove-top.

Recipe Notes:

You can use a jar of red pasta sauce (our favorite red sauce at Target) in place of using pesto. You can serve the sausage and vegetables with rice or potatoes. The recipe is easy to adapt to your taste preference and liking.

We prefer creamy pesto sauce but, any good pesto sauce or homemade pesto sauce will be delicious on the spaghetti pasta noodles.

Additionally, sometimes when I make this with red sauce I add the jar of red sauce right into the pan with the Italian sausage with vegetables with the sauce and ladle it onto the noodles. Next, time I make it I’ll share that way too.
