This is a Cooking Light recipe that I made a couple weeks ago. DH and I loved it.

Orecchiette with Sausage, Peppers, and Feta

8ounces uncooked Orecchiette pasta or penne pasta
1 tsp oil
3 cups (1/2 inch thick)slices red bell pepper, each cut in half crosswise
1/2 tsp salt, divided
8 ounces of turkey Italian sausage, or regular Italian sausage
1 tsp dried oregano
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup (3ounces) crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Cook the pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain the pasta in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and 1/4 tsp salt; saut 2 minutes. Remove casings from the sausage. Add the sausage, oregano, and garlic to pan, cook 4 minutes or until sausage is done, stirring to crumble sausage. Add pasta, reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 tsp salt, cheese, olives, and black pepper, cook for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.
