Quick and Easy Pasta

This was made at class last Wednesday for two very special young ladies that came to the store to learn some techniques to eat a bit healthier and to enjoy that healthy food more.  Well, I had some stuff in the fridge and showed them how easy this dish was to make.  I used one package of Roasted Garlic and Jalapeno Linguine and cooked it in boiling water.  Meanwhile I heated a large skillet over medium high heat and sauted about 8 medium sliced button mushrooms in 1/4 cup olive oil until browned.  Then added a half an onion and half a red pepper, both diced in half inch dice.  Continued to cook them for about another 2 minutes then I threw in 2 leftover spicy sausages that I had and just sliced into half inch slices.  Then I opened a 14 ounce can of petite diced tomatoes and poured that in, stirred a bit then dumped in the drained linguine and added about a half cup of the water the pasta was cooked in.  Stirred it all well and turned onto platter.  Sprinkled all over with shaved Parmesan and it was spectacular and just unbelievably quick and easy!  Dishes like this are healthy because of the low sodium, the small amount of fat (monounsaturated too!) and the fact that THERE ARE NO CHEMICAL ADDITIVES !
