1 pound/box spaghetti style whole wheat pasta
4-5 cloves minced fresh garlic
1 drained large 16 ounce can whole black olives
1 sliced green bell pepper
1 sliced small onion
1/2 jar spaghetti sauce
1 pound turkey kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1/8"-1/4" round pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
------------
Cook the pasta as normal in a large pot and drain when finished. While pasta is cooking, in a separate skillet, brown the turkey sausage if it is not precooked for some reason, or grilling it would be even better. In a large skillet (a dutch oven would be best), pour in the olive oil and sautee the green peppers. Add the onions when the green peppers start to get the least bit soft. Right before the onions are clear and limp, add the garlic and sausage and cook for a few more minutes until the garlic is soft. When the veggies are done, dump the pasta into the skillet (or dutch oven) with the veggies, pour the sauce on top, and dump the olives in too. Stir and mix together and continue heating just long enough to warm up the sauce and maybe caramelize it a little. Heating the sauce up separately before combining would caramelize it even more if you want that. Serve soon after that.
Something similar to this may be on the web, but I just made it up. Any comments good or bad are appreciated.
