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 WITH SAUSAGE AND TOMATO SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add sausage meat and cook, stirring to break up large chunks, until meat is browned and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meat to a bowl using a slotted spoon and add bell pepper and garlic to fat in skillet. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, until pepper is just tender and garlic is golden, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add wine and sausage and simmer, scraping up brown bits on bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon, until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add tomatoes with their juice and black pepper and simmer, breaking up tomatoes with spoon, until sauce is slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
- While sauce is cooking, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander and return to pot. Add sauce and cheese to pasta and toss to coat. Add cooking water if necessary to moisten. Season pasta with salt and pepper and serve with additional cheese.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will turn out. Use fresh, high-quality Italian sausage, penne pasta, and vegetables.
- Brown the sausage well: This will help to render out the fat and give the sausage a delicious flavor.
- Use a good quality tomato sauce: You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you are using a store-bought sauce, be sure to choose one that is flavorful and has a good consistency.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Overcooked pasta will be mushy.
- Add the vegetables to the pan when the sausage is almost cooked: This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming overcooked.
- Add the pasta and sauce to the pan and stir to combine: Cook until the pasta is heated through.
- Serve immediately: Penne with Italian sausage is best served immediately.
Conclusion:
Penne with Italian sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. Try it tonight!
