Gena’s Sunny Sausage and Pepper Penne

Put a large pasta pot on the stove with enough water to cook 1 lb. of penne pasta and bring to a boil. You will need a large, deep sided pan for this recipe.

Heat up 3 tablespoons of olive oil taken from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced green bell pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Drop your pasta into the salted boiling water.

Move garlic and peppers to the side and add the turkey Italian sausage without their casings. Break up the sausage and cook through. Drain the quartered artichoke hearts and add. Also add the chopped sun dried tomatoes. Leave to cook and combine flavors for about 5-7 minutes.

When the pasta is al dente, drain and add to the pan ingredients. Add the chicken broth and stir to combine for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately with fresh grated Parmesan and enjoy! Ciao!
