3 Pepper Pasta image

This is a family favorite. I modified this recipe from an old roommate in college. She would make a vegetarian version without Italian sausage. It was also wonderful. Hope you enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red onion
1 cup mushroom, sliced
1 lb Italian sausage (optional)
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 lb penne pasta, cooked al dente

Steps:

  • (Optional) Brown the sausage well, crumbling with a fork. Remove from skillet and set aside. Remove excess grease.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add onion and cook to desired tenderness. (I like to cook the heck out of the onions, but you really don't have to.)
  • Add mushrooms and garlic and cook 3-4 minutes.
  • Add peppers and cook to desired tenderness. (I only cook the peppers for a couple of minutes because I like them to stay a little bit firm.)
  • When the veggies are at your desired tenderness, add the red wine vinegar and sugar. If using sausage, add the meat back to the skillet.
  • If I am using fresh basil, I add it last. However, if I am using dried basil, I add it with the mushrooms.
  • Pour all contents over al dente penne pasta. I like to top with grated parmesan cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of peppers, but I thought this dish was pretty good. The sauce was tasty and the pasta was cooked well.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The sauce lacked flavor and the pasta was overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was an absolute hit with my family! The combination of the three peppers gave the dish a wonderful depth of flavor, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
