Italian Sausage Cacciatore
I came across this recipe for Italian Sausage Cacciatore and tried it and was I pleasantly surprised!
It is easy to make and has many flavors to test your taste buds.
You can use your favorite pasta, but I chose whole grain penne pasta.
One of the secrets is to use a jar of marinara sauce …but of course you can make your own marinara if you like.
Add a garden salad and toasted garlic bread…..Yummy!
I used the hot Italian Sausage and it is spicy…
I like spicy! 😉
Let me know if you try this and what you think of it.
Enjoy!
