Rustic "Sausage" & Angel Hair Pasta

1 box angel hair or spaghetti
1 Tbs olive oil
1 pkg Tofurky Italian Sausage, crumbled
1 lb baby bellas, sliced
1 bell pepper (any color), coarsely chopped
1/2 Tbs dried Italian seasoning blend
14.5oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 Tbs shredded Parmesan cheese
2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley

1) Cook pasta according to package directions.  Drain and return to pan.
2) Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add sausage; cook about 3 minutes, until sausage is warmed, stirring frequently.
3) Add mushrooms, bell pepper and Italian seasoning.  Reduce heat to medium; continue cooking, 3 to 4 minutes until mushrooms begin to soften, stirring frequently.  Stir in tomatoes; cook 5 to 7 minutes until desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
4) To serve, spoon sauce over pasta and toss.  Or, add pasta to skillet with sauce and toss.  Garnish with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Review:  This is one of the rare instances in which I tweaked a recipe that originally called for meat.  Tofurky was a great stand-in.  We had not tried this sausage before, but it was tasty!  The recipe overall had a great flavor and was pretty filling.

And, fortunately for me, Mike was the primary cook tonight, while I did laundry and vacuumed.  We had recently tried a new litter and our home had an awful smell.  So, I sprinkled baking soda throughout the upstairs and vacuumed away!  It did wonders for the smell.  Unfortunately, the vacuum now refuses to recline, which occurred before I could vacuum the downstairs!  So, this is the 3rd Dyson to fail me in 6 months.  Maybe I'm cursed.  I'm calling tech support tomorrow night, as I'm still under warranty, and will hopefully be able to vacuum again soon!!
