How To Make one skillet italian sausage pasta

  • 1
    In a very large, lidded skillet (I used my electric skillet) or even a dutch oven, brown the Italian Sausage. Mine was frozen so I turned the heat to medium and covered it. I broke it up and stirred it every few seconds so it would not burn)
  • 2
    I added the bag of frozen onions and peppers and stirred them in as soon as the meat was browned. i stirred them until thy were thawed.
  • 3
    I stirred in the tomato and spaghetti sauces.
  • 4
    I added the artichoke hearts and water and stirred that in. I created a "well" in the center by pushing the meat and vegetables to the sides.
  • 5
    I tossed the pasta into the center well and coated it with the water and sauce.
  • 6
    I sprinkled the cheese over everything.
  • 7
    Cover this with the lid and cook 12-20 minutes. Make sure the pasta has plenty of water to cover it. Test the pasta for doneness by tasting a piece. (different pasta takes different times to cook.) Serve
