Italian Sausage Marinara

I love pasta and cook it all the time. Spaghetti is my favorite, especially with marinara sauce. I made it again last week but I had extra Italian sausages and marinara sauce left. I decided to search online and found a good recipe that uses both. In this recipe, the sausages were browned first and then along with slices of zucchini and bell peppers, were simmered in marinara sauce until cooked through. This dish is simple but full of flavors. Yummy!
