Sausage & Peppers Penne Alfredo image

Penne pasta served with hot Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions in a creamy Alfredo sauce. This is a recipe that I created on the fly. Ingredient measurements are "best guess" because I pretty much just threw everything in to taste. Feel free to adjust to your taste and enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 1 batch, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil (or bacon drippings)
5 hot Italian sausage links (you can use mild)
2 bell peppers (you may also use poblanos or other mild chiles)
1 white onion
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
salt & pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons flour (optional)
1/4 cup chicken broth or 1/4 cup stock
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
fresh basil

Steps:

  • Slice sausage into 3/4 inch slices.
  • Cut onions and peppers in to thin strips (julienne slices).
  • Mince 3 to 4 cloves of garlic or measure out 1 Tbsp of pre-minced garlic.
  • Chop basil into small strips (about 1 inch in length).
  • Prepare pasta based on packaged instructions.
  • Fry sausage in oil over medium-high heat until all pieces have turned brown.
  • Add peppers and onions, season with salt and pepper to taste, and fry with sausage for 2 minutes.
  • Add garlic and fry for 1 more minute.
  • Dust the mixture with 2 Tbsp of flour (this step is optional, and will create a thicker sauce) and stir for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth and stir mixture for about 30 seconds.
  • Turn heat down to medium-low and add cream. Stir to combine.
  • Slowly bring cream to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Add Parmesan cheese and stir until cheese is melted into mixture.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve over pasta.

I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. It was still edible, but not ideal.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious.

I used a jar of Alfredo sauce to save time. It was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with homemade sauce.

I had some leftover chicken, so I added it to this dish. It turned out great! The chicken added a nice extra layer of flavor.
