Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, cook sausages over medium heat until no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings.
In the drippings, saute onion and pepper until crisp-tender. Stir in the broth, tomatoes, apple juice, parsley, garlic, basil, oregano and sausages. Bring to a boil; add pasta. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until pasta is tender. Yield: 4 servings.
