Yummy Nummy Pasta Dish

My journey with Weight Watchers has been full of some ups and downs, but I notice this time around I don't beat myself up over the downs. I just get motivated to hop right back into place. I have been trying so many new recipes lately and there are some that are fabulous and some that are not so much. This is so far the families all time favorite.



Italian Sausage and pepper pasta
Serves 5 (serving sized 1 1/2 cup)

What you Need:
2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1 lbs turkey italian sausage link
1/2 cup julienned sweet red, yellow and green pepper
