- 3/4 cup sour cream

- 3 mini sweet peppers
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 1 cup grape tomatoes sliced in half
- 2 Tbs chopped cilantro

Brown sausage
Slice sweet mini peppers, and add into pan, let cook 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally
Meanwhile, add all the sauce ingredients into a food processor or blender, and process until smooth
When sausage is browned, and noodles are nearly done cooking, add chicken stock to the pan to deglaze it, meaning to get the brown bits off the pan and make a nice sauce. Add in the tomatoes and corn and cilantro to the pan with the sausage, stir well.
