Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium- high heat until hot. Add sausage; stir-fry 4 minutes or until browned. Remove from skillet. Set aside; keep warm. Wipe skillet with paper towels.

Recoat skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat. Add onion; stir-fry 3 minutes. Add tomato and garlic; stir-fry 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour, stirring to coat. Add water, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer over medium-low heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
