Sausage Broccoli Pasta

I think we all love those throw together quick recipes!!  This is one of them!  It's not a rocket-science, thought provoking thing...  It's a what do I have on hand kind-of meal.

1 lb. pasta, (I prefer penne or rigatoni for this recipe.)
1-2 pkgs. smoked beef sausage (the already cooked kind), sliced
16 oz, approx. broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
1 bell pepper (preferably red or orange), chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
Seasoning
Parmesan cheese, shredded

Cook pasta, steam broccoli and cook sausage in frying pan.  Combine all ingredients (except cheese)in bowl and season.  I use the Parmesan Garlic seasoning from Pampered Chef, but you could use lemon-pepper, Italian Seasoning, Herb Seasoning, etc.  I use a generous amount about 1-2 tablespoons. Top with Parmesan cheese.




The great thing about this dish is it can be served warm, room temperature or even cold.
Be creative!  Add other vegetables or use kielbasa sausage, turkey sausage, ground sausage or diced chicken if you want to shake it up!  Try any kind of vinaigrette dressing??  The possibilities are endless!
Enjoy!
