Looking for recipe

[olliekl]

Last summer, I made a Cooking Light dish several times to the delight of my husband, our family and friends, and now I can't find it. The main ingredients included turkey sausage, pasta, red peppers (not roasted), feta cheese, and black olives. It was an extremely easy recipe to make and I am terribly disappointed that I can't find it either in my huge pile of recipes nor in the list of Cooking Light recipes on website. Can anyone help me?

Thanks so much.

Is this it? It doesn't have feta or olives but maybe you just added them? I think I made this before and it was yummy!

That's it! I couldn't find it anywhere on the website and don't know what I did wrong. It's such an easy recipe I should have remembered it, but I'm certain I wouldn't have remembered the oregano.

My husband and I thank you very, very much.

You are most welcome (and welcome to the board)! I didn't find it on the website either. Found it doing a search on the bulletin board. Got lucky, though, because sometimes they don't always work.

Actually, I'll probably be thanking you after this weekend because may try it myself. Looks fabulous!
