Meal #7 ~ Slow Cooker Italian Sausage and Peppers with Rotini

This is a regular on our recipe list...

Ingredients:
1 package (19.5 oz) turkey Italian sausages, cut into 1 in pieces
1 c finely chopped sweet onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium yellow peppers, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 medium red peppers, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 26 oz jar tomato pasta sauce
4 1/2 cups uncooked rotini pasta (12 oz)
6 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Mix all ingredients except pasta and cheese in the slow cooker. We used regular sausage instead of turkey sausage this time because it was on sale & green peppers instead of yellow peppers. Don't forget your cooking spray!! :)

2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. I got mine started late, so I cooked it on high for 4 hours.

3. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Serve sausage mixture over pasta; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

This was the result of me turning my back to start clean up and Connor smashing the plate on his face! Needless to say, Connor immediately got into the bath tub!!

 The verdict: Super quick & easy...and yummy too! We've made this 2 or 3 times now.
