Instructions
  1. Cut ½-inch off top of each pepper. Remove stem; chop remaining pepper top into ½-inch pieces.
  2. Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Cook sausage 4-5 min. or until browned, breaking up large pieces with wooden spoon. Add chopped peppers and onions. Cook 3-4 min. or until crisp-tender. Stir in quinoa, 1-1/2 cups sauce and 1 cup broth. Bring mixture to a boil.
  3. Add remaining sauce and broth to slow cooker insert. Cut a thin slice off bottoms of each pepper so they stand upright. Arrange pepper bottoms snugly in slow cooker. Fill peppers evenly with quinoa mixture; cover with lid. Cook 3 hours on HIGH (or 6 hours on LOW) or until peppers are softened and quinoa is tender.
  4. Top each pepper with cheese and parsley before serving.
Recipe Notes

There is no need to pre-cook the quinoa before stuffing the peppers because it will steam as it cooks.

Make this protein-packed dish vegetarian by substituting plant-based sausage and vegetable broth for the turkey sausage and chicken broth.

Instructions
  1. Cook pasta 1 min. less than directed on package. Drain; set aside.
  2. Heat oil in large pot on medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook 3-4 min. or until done, using wooden spoon to break up large pieces.
  3. Reduce heat to medium; add onions, carrots and celery. Cook 5-6 min. or until onions are translucent, stirring frequently. Add garlic; stir 30 sec. Stir in sauce, broth and beans. Simmer 10 min. or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add pasta; cook 1-2 min. until heated through. Top with cheese and parsley before serving.
Recipe Notes

To freeze, keep pasta separate as it will continue to absorb liquid in the soup.

Plant-based sausage is usually sold in the meat department or frozen aisle of the grocery store.
