PENNE WITH PEPPERS AND SAUSAGE

Categories     Apple

Number Of Ingredients 6

INGREDIENTS
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 large red and yellow bell peppers (3 pounds), cut into 2-inch-long julienne
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pound penne

Steps:

  • Cook garlic in oil in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. Add peppers, wine, and salt and pepper to taste, then cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While peppers are cooking, cook pasta in a 6-qt. pot of boiling salted water until al dente and drain. Toss pasta with peppers and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use any other type of sausage that you like. Just make sure that it is cooked through before adding it to the pasta.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh bell peppers and onions will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables instead.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when you add it to the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are cooking the sausage and vegetables, make sure that you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Season to taste: Once you have added all of the ingredients to the pot, be sure to taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.

Conclusion:

Sausage penne and peppers is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone in the family.
