Spicy Chicken Sausage and Brown Rice Spaghetti Recipe


Spicy Chicken Sausage and Brown Rice Spaghetti 



This is our favorite supper recipe.  If you like spicy foods this dish is for you!!  I used all fresh ingredients, mostly which I bought at Trader Joe's.

Ingredients:
12 oz Chicken Sausage (I bought mine at TJ's)
1/3 cup of chopped onion
1 clove of chopped garlic
2 medium red peppers, chopped
1 1/2 cups of crushed tomatoes (I crush mine in the Ninja food processor) 
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tsp of olive oil (I use almond or coconut oil)
Ground Salt and Pepper to taste
Fresh Parsley
8 oz of Brown Rice spaghetti (which I found at TJ's)
Fresh Oregano (optional, but I love Italian seasoning)

Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.  Set aside (**Tip: remove the casing surrounding the chicken sausage.  This makes the chicken sausage have a ground beef look to it)

Add the oil, onions, peppers, garlic and salt and pepper to the skillet and cook until golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth and return the sausage to the skillet.  This is when I add my fresh Italian seasoning.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer on low for 15 minutes. 

In the meantime, boil water and add the brown rice spaghetti noodles.  Drain the noodles and add to the skillet with the sausage sauce.  Finish with fresh parsley and fresh grated Parmesan (not that processed container Parmesan). 

Okay I added these pictures so you know what the chicken sausage and brown rice pasta looks like:
