Chicken Sausage Cacciatore
- SERVES
- 4
- COOK TIME
- 25 Min
This version of Chicken Sausage Cacciatore may be lighter than traditional chicken cacciatore, but it's still heavy on taste. Chunks of sauteed chicken sausage swimming in our garlicky tomato-veggie sauce make for a hearty main-dish meal.
What You'll Need
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound chicken sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
- 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/2 onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, cut into quarters
- 10 plum tomatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat then add sausage, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink in center. Remove to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet. Add garlic, bell pepper, and onion, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in mushrooms, tomatoes, salt, and black pepper, and cook 7 to 10 more minutes, or until tomatoes have broken down.
- Return sausage to skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Serve over warm penne pasta.

Some may think nutritional values aren't important, but for someone like me that's a diabetic, I need this in order to bolus insulin for my meals. It's very important to me.

msolie, if you like the reicpes here and since values aren't provided, could I suggest you google to get a nutrition calculator and add the ingredients into a recipe there to check them before making them. they are fairly easy to use and they do the calculations for you. I assume spark people has one as well as livestrong and nutrimirror to name a few. I personally use the later one. Good luck and hopes that helps.

Mr Food website has a diabetic recipe section you may wish to visit. Nutritional values are already included. I suspect that these recipes with the added sugar and fast carbs are not going to be very good for you. I wouldn't chance it if I were you.

Wen we share our recipes with friends & family there are no "Nutritional Values " attached MR Food is the same way a fun easy going recipe site. IF you want breakdowns of recipes there are many other recipe sites you can go to . I hope Mr Food never, ever gives in to BULLIES who try to push their agenda and their "Preferences " on others MR Food . Please stay just as you are.. We LOVE YOU

Grannyblu - I agree with you - I see the same names over and over petitioning for the nutritional values when there are hundreds of sites directly targeted for diet-sensitive individuals. If these people can operate a computer to comment on this website, they certainly have the ability to deconstruct these recipes and alter them themselves to meet their needs.
