Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package rotini pasta

  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 red bell peppers, chopped

  • 1 small zucchini, chopped

  • 1 small yellow squash, chopped

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 (14.4 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 cup tomato sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil

  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

  2. Brown sausage, stirring to crumble, in a skillet over medium heat. Remove sausage using a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in the pan.
