Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni, or pasta of choice, and cook to al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta & set aside.
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the sausage, bell pepper & onion, seasoning with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt. Use a wooden spoon to break the sausage into fine bite-sized crumbles as it cooks. The sausage should render & brown nicely & the peppers & onions should soften. If anything starts to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. Add in the garlic & crushed red pepper flake, cooking until just fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Stir the tomato paste into the skillet. As it heats, stir to coat the sausage & veggies. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until deeply red, then deglaze the skillet with the white wine. Increase the heat to medium-high. Once the wine simmers, add in the crused tomatoes & parmesan. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly & build flavor.
- Once the sausage & peppers have simmered in the sauce, add the pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat, adding some of the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen up the sauce so it coats the pasta nicely. Let the pasta simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes, just to bring everything together, then remove from the heat.
- immediately, topped with extra grated parm, crushed red pepper & a sprinkling of thinly sliced basil, as desired. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add both cans of tomatoes and 1 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, add the basil sprigs and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the basil and season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Add the green and red bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the sausage drippings and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the sausage.

Transfer the pasta to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the remaining fontina and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving.
SAUSAGE AND PEPPER PENNE
This recipe is the best when made using farmer's sausage, but any sausage links will do. Add the red pepper flakes at the end for a little kick, or leave them out if spice isn't for you.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS PASTA WITH BROCCOLI
The classic Italian combination of sausage and peppers creates a satisfying and easy weeknight meal when combined with pasta. Broccoli is a fantastic nutritious addition that adds texture and cooks up quickly, or you can opt for broccolini or broccoli rabe if you want a more assertive vegetable. Sweet Italian pork sausage is used here, but there's no need to feel tied to the recipe: Substitute with spicy Italian sausage for extra heat, use chicken-apple sausage for a healthier take, or swap in fresh chorizo or breakfast sausage to turn this dinner into brunch.

Steps:
- In 6 quarts of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente. About 10 to 13 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Stir in 2 Tbls of olive oil into the pasta.
- In the meantime, fry the sausage in a large frying pan in 2 Tbls of olive oil until the sausage cooked through and browned all over.
- Remove the sausage from the pan and let stand.
- Drain the excess oil in the frying pan.
- Add the peppers, onions, garlic, oregano and basil to the pan, cover and cook on medium heat until the peppers are tender and slightly browned.
- Cut the sausages into 1 inch pieces and add to the peppers.
- Increase the heat and add the white wine.
- Cook until the wine is reduced by half.
- Stir in the butter and the parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Plate the pasta and spoon the sausage mixture on top.
- Optional: Plate the pasta, pour a good quality, or homemade vodka sauce over the pasta, then top with sausages and peppers.
- Serve with Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- Use good quality sausage: The sausage is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful meat and has a nice balance of spices.
- Cook the sausage properly: To get the best flavor and texture, cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned on all sides. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the sausage will steam instead of brown.
- Use a variety of peppers: This dish is all about the combination of flavors and textures, so use a variety of peppers. A good mix is bell peppers, poblano peppers, and Anaheim peppers.
- Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers gives them a smoky, caramelized flavor that really enhances the dish. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on the grill.
- Use a good quality pasta: The pasta is the other star of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a good texture.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slightly firm bite to it. This is the perfect texture for this dish.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of this dish together. Use a sauce that is made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and lose its texture if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Pasta with sausage and peppers is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a hit. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is simply irresistible. The sausage is smoky and flavorful, the peppers are sweet and roasted, and the pasta is perfectly al dente. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
