2 lbs. hot or mild Italian sausage, cut into 2 inch chunks
2 c. chopped onions
1 1/2 c. red peppers
1 1/2 c. green peppers
1 c. marinara sauce
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1 lb. pasta fully cooked and drained

Put sausage in 3-quart microwave-safe bowl covered. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 9 minutes, stirring twice. Should be firm to the touch when done. Drain well.

Stir in onions, peppers, sauce and basil; cover and microwave on high 8-10 minutes, stirring once until onions and peppers are tender. Stir some cooked sauce into pasta to moisten and color. Serve sausage pepper mixture over pasta. Serves 6.
