Ingredients:

  • 3 Del Monte® Red Bell Peppers
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 8 oz. hot or sweet bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 Del Monte® Onion, finely diced

  • ½ tsp. black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat the broiler. Line a large baking sheet with foil and place peppers on it. Broil peppers, turning occasionally, until blackened all over. Transfer peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let steam until peppers are cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.

Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Serve garnished with parsley.
