Preparation

Step 1

Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat. Add the sausages and cook, stirring as needed, until browned, about 6 minutes. Add the bell peppers and the onion; cook, stirring as needed, until the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add the artichoke hearts, spinach and tomatoes; cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring as needed, until the vegetables are cooked through and the flavors are blended, about 5 minutes.
