SAUSAGE PASTA SAUCE
Sweet peppers, onions and garlic give this red sauce its rich flavor, and a little cream gives it a smooth texture. Our toddlers love this recipe because the vegetables are "hidden" since they are pureed with the tomato sauce. -Michelle Krzmarzick Torrance, California

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your pasta with sausage in red clam sauce taste its best. Look for plump, juicy clams, sweet sausage, and ripe tomatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and clams, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the ingredients will steam instead of brown, and your dish will be less flavorful.

- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine in this recipe helps to brighten the flavors of the sauce. Be sure to use a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the ingredients to meld together and create a rich, flavorful sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or parsley, can add a pop of color and flavor to your pasta dish.
