PENNE, PEPPERS, AND CHICKEN-APPLE SAUSAGE SAUTE



Penne, Peppers, and Chicken-Apple Sausage Saute image

This recipe originated with my son, who makes it with very spicy chicken sausages. I loved it so much that I adapted it to suit our taste. Because my husband prefers less spicy food, I use milder chicken-apple sausage. This is one of our favorite dinners.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 sweet red peppers, chopped

3 (16 ounce) packages penne pasta
garlic and herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®) to taste

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir peppers until slightly tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in onions and cook until onions soften and turn golden, 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, high-quality sausage, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is cooked through before adding it to the pasta. This will help prevent the pasta from becoming greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Use a large pot for the pasta: When cooking the pasta, use a large pot to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • Save some pasta water: Before draining the pasta, reserve some of the pasta water. This can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the pasta.
  • Season to taste: Don't forget to season the pasta with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
