Italian Stir Fry is one of the most well liked of current trending foods in the world. It’s simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. It is enjoyed by millions every day. They are fine and they look fantastic. Italian Stir Fry is something that I have loved my whole life.
To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have italian stir fry using 9 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Italian Stir Fry:
- Prepare 1 packages Italian sausages (mild, hot or sweet) cooked & browned on both sides
- Prepare 1 small or medium green pepper sliced in thin strips & then cut strips in half
- Take 1 small red, yellow or white onion sliced into strips
- Make ready 1 1/2 tbsp garlic, finely minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Get 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning or 1 tbsp dried oregano
- Make ready 1 1/2 tsp dried parsley or bout 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
- Make ready 1 can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
- Take 1/2 lb or whats needed of ur favorite pasta cooked & drained (i use spaghetti or rotini but used elbow mac this time)
- Take 1 1/2 cup to 2 cups of ur favorite pasta sauce or even marinara or pizza sauce
Instructions to make Italian Stir Fry:
- Fry ur sausages in oil in large skillet, take out when done, set aside & let rest 10 minutes
- While ur sausages r resting saute or "stir fry" ur peppers & onions in same skillet till mostly done, add minced garlic & herbs, stir through, drain oil
- Slice sausages diagonally about 1/4 inch thick, add peppers, onions & sliced sausages back to skillet
- Add tomatoes & sauce to the skillet with the sausages, stir through & simmer on medium-low for bout 15 minutes or a little longer if u want thicker sauce
- After it has cooked then taste the sauce…if it needs salt add a little. If its to tangy or sour u can add a little white sugar or I use 1 tbsp of grape jelly to balance the flavor & the slight hint of grape gives it a nice flavor…almost like red wine! Don't use any other flavor jelly, jam or preserves because u don't want chunks of fruit or seeds in ur sauce!
- Spoon this over ur cooked pasta! Also just to let u know if u don't have or don't use pasta this is also delicious over white or brown rice! Yumminess!! Hope u all love this dish as much as we do!!
- Just a little note so u know… This usually feeds bout 3-5 people depending on how big of an appetite they may have… U can usually get more or less servings by adjusting the amount of pasta or rice u cook but if u have a big family or big eaters then I'd suggest doubling the recipe! :)

Put together a trail mixout of a variety of seeds and nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts.

These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you overcome your depression.
Grains can be excellent for overcoming a bad mood. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. It’s not difficult to feel low when you are starving! These grains can help your mood elevate as it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood glucose which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is really great for your mood. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid called L-theanine.
