Pasta Primavera

Change up your normal spaghetti dinner with this delicious Pasta Primavera.

We don't eat pasta that often, but when we do, it's always enjoyed. Instead of a traditional spaghetti, we made pasta primavera. Instead of having a thick red sauce, this pasta is covered with a creamy sauce and packed with bell peppers, onion, and sausage.

Tips

• Make sure the sausage is completely cooked before taking it out of the pan

• Give yourself plenty of time to make this dish! If you're like us, it always takes us longer than expected to make our dishes.

• When prepping your sausage, leave the casings on, and cut them into thick coins (about 1 inch). This will help the sausage stay in coins better.

• Thinly slice your bell peppers and onions to help them cook more easily.
