Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook 6-8 oz dried pasta from pantry until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. Slice 12 oz chicken sausage into coins. Slice 8 oz mushrooms, dice 1 green bell pepper, chop 1 lb tomatoes, slice 1 medium onion, and mince 4 garlic cloves. Chop 2 tbsp parsley and 1 tsp oregano.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage for 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add onion, mushrooms, and bell pepper to the skillet and cook 6-8 minutes until softened and nicely browned. Add garlic and oregano and cook 30 seconds.
  5. Add chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Simmer 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce.
  6. Return sausage to the pan and simmer 2 minutes. Add the drained pasta and toss with a splash of reserved pasta water until the sauce clings.
  7. Finish with parsley and a small squeeze from 1/2 lemon to brighten the flavors. Serve hot.
