Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
½ pound spicy Italian sausage
¼ red onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup Marsala wine
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
½ cup fresh sliced mushrooms
2 cups chicken stock
¼ cup blanched green peas
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large pot with boiling salted water cook penne pasta until al dente. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook sausage until brown. Remove from pan. Saute the red onion and garlic in the olive oil until soft and transparent. Add the oregano, salt, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, 1/2 of the wine, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and saute until tender. Add remaining wine and chicken stock and cook until liquid has reduced to a thick sauce, about 20 minutes.
  • After sauce has reduced, add cooked sausage and thawed peas to the sauce and stir to heat through.
  • Toss pasta with the sauce to coat evenly. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a more flavorful sausage and added some more spices.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use a milder sausage and maybe add some sour cream to tone down the heat.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use different types of sausage, vegetables, and pasta to create a dish that's perfect for your taste. I've also made this dish in a slow cooker, which is a great option for busy weeknights.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy meal. I used pre-cooked sausage and pre-sliced peppers and onions, which made it even faster to make. It was still very flavorful and delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed this dish. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and the flavors of the sausage and peppers really complemented it.

This was a great recipe! I used ground turkey instead of sausage, and it turned out great. I also added a handful of chopped spinach for some extra greens.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a success. I like to use different types of sausage, such as Italian sausage or chorizo, to change up the flavor.

My family loved this dish! It's a great way to get them to eat their vegetables. I served it with a side of garlic bread and it was a hit.
