Pasta with Italian Sausage and Vegetables

Ingredients:

8 ounces hot Italian sausage
8 ounces mild Italian sausage
1 medium onion, sliced
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
1 large zucchini, sliced
1 small eggplant, peeled, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (16-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces bow tie or corkscrew pasta, cooked

Directions:

Remove the casings from the sausage and crumble. Brown the sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat. Drain and set aside the sausage; wipe out the skillet.
Saute the onion, red pepper, zucchini and eggplant in heated olive oil in the skillet for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender-crisp. Add the tomatoes and basil.
Simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the parsley and sausage. Add the pasta; toss to coat well.
