2 cloves of garlic, minced

Freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano

Steps:

  • Slice Italian sausage into bite size pieces and set aside. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute sausage until almost fully cooked. They should be nice and browned.

Add peppers and cook for an additional 5 minutes. In a large bowl combine hot pasta and contents of frying pan. Sprinkle with cheese. Pass additional cheese at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of sausage, such as chorizo or kielbasa. Just make sure that the sausage is fully cooked before adding it to the pasta.
  • Roast the peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their sweetness and flavor. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality pasta: Penne is a great choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of pasta, such as spaghetti or macaroni.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Add plenty of sauce: This dish is all about the sauce, so make sure to add plenty of it. The sauce should be thick and flavorful, and it should coat the pasta and vegetables evenly.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if you let it sit for too long.
