- 1 large onion diced
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 2 banana peppers optional
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound ground sausage Italian or breakfast sausage
- 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes
- 2 cups V8 Juice
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup to 1 cup Water
- 1 pound macaroni
Add olive oil to a large skillet or dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat. Add diced onions, bell peppers, and banana peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, about 5–6 minutes.
Remove from pan and set aside.
Add the sausage to the same skillet. Cook until browned and heated through, breaking it up as it cooks.
Return the cooked vegetables to the pan. Stir in the diced tomatoes, V8 juice (or broth), Worcestershire sauce, water, and uncooked macaroni.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Garnish with parsley or finely grated cheese if desired.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Reheat: Cook in a pan with a splash of water or V8 juice over medium heat, stirring until heated through.
