Italian Sausage With Peppers & Penne

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil.

Sauté the onion, bell peppers, and fennel until the vegetables turn golden, 8-10 minutes.

Add the garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes longer.

Stir in the tomato, salt, and pepper.

Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally.

Add the sausage; simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes.

If the sauce becomes too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.

Meanwhile, cook the penne according to directions; drain.

Add the basil, parsley, and penne to the sausage mixture; toss to combine.
