Grilled Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions image

Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions made easy on the grill. You can also serve the sausage in hot dog buns and finely chop the veggies once grilled as a "relish". I like to add a squirt of mustard when I serve them this way.

Tips:

  • When grilling sausages, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the sausages for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • To prevent the sausages from drying out, baste them with olive oil or your favorite marinade while they are grilling.
  • If you are using wooden skewers to grill the sausages, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
  • When cooking the pasta, be sure to salt the water generously. This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from becoming bland.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked sausage for this recipe.
  • If you don't have any fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables instead.
  • Serve this dish with a side of crusty bread or a salad for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Grilled Italian sausages with pasta and vegetables is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The sausages are grilled until they are cooked through and slightly charred, and the vegetables are roasted until they are tender and caramelized. The pasta is cooked in a flavorful broth made from the sausage drippings, and the whole dish is tossed with a simple vinaigrette. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
