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.

PENNE PASTA WITH MULTI-COLORED PEPPERS
Which in Canada is Salade de pates au poivron, or so they say. I haven't tried this yet because I'm posting it for the WT 06. In the original recipe by Debra Weber, she says you can use 20 small Nicoise or the Kalmata olives, but it would not let me post that so I'm putting it here. This really sounds good.

PENNE AND PEPPERS
I love Italian pasta recipes! I first tasted this combination at East Side Mario's restaurant, and both liked it and disliked it, thought I could do better, to my own taste. ESM's recipe has now been watered down and/or my recipe tastes a whole lot better. I use "Classico d'Sicilia" pre-prepared sauce as a base for this recipe, using the "Spicy Red Pepper" type (its not all that spicy!) and "working" from there...

- Add the shrimp at the end of the cooking process: This will help to prevent overcooking.
- Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers will give your dish different flavors and colors. Try using a mix of bell peppers, chili peppers, and pepperoncini.
- Adjust the spiciness to your taste: If you don't like spicy food, you can use milder peppers or omit them altogether. If you like spicy food, you can add more chili peppers or cayenne pepper.
