For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauté. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to the dish for extra nutrients and flavor. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese adds a delightful finishing touch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 11 minutes. Drain well.

StepHeat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender, about 7 minutes. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and golden, about 7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
03
StepAdd the sliced chicken and apple sausage to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
04
StepStir in the drained penne pasta into the sausage and pepper mixture. Reduce the heat to low. Season with garlic and herb seasoning, sea salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Toss well to combine and heat through.
