SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS PASTA WITH BROCCOLI



Sausage and Peppers Pasta With Broccoli image

The classic Italian combination of sausage and peppers creates a satisfying and easy weeknight meal when combined with pasta. Broccoli is a fantastic nutritious addition that adds texture and cooks up quickly, or you can opt for broccolini or broccoli rabe if you want a more assertive vegetable. Sweet Italian pork sausage is used here, but there's no need to feel tied to the recipe: Substitute with spicy Italian sausage for extra heat, use chicken-apple sausage for a healthier take, or swap in fresh chorizo or breakfast sausage to turn this dinner into brunch.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS & PENNE

Make and share this Italian Sausage With Peppers & Penne recipe from Food.com.

Provided by eza91804

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 bermuda onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup canned diced tomato
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lb cooked Italian pork sausage (hot, sweet, or a combination)
2 cups penne pasta
1/4 cup chopped basil
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil.
  • Sauté the onion, bell peppers, and fennel until the vegetables turn golden, 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes longer.
  • Stir in the tomato, salt, and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the sausage; simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes.
  • If the sauce becomes too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
  • Meanwhile, cook the penne according to directions; drain.
  • Add the basil, parsley, and penne to the sausage mixture; toss to combine.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your dish taste its best. Look for ripe peppers, sweet Italian sausage, and high-quality penne pasta.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the sausage and peppers, make sure to give them plenty of space so they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the ingredients will steam instead of brown, and your dish will be less flavorful.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the perfect texture for pasta dishes with sauce, as it will hold up well and not become mushy.
  • Season to taste. Taste your dish as you cook it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This penne with Italian sausage and peppers is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and can be made in under an hour. This dish is perfect for a casual dinner party or a busy weeknight meal. Serve it with a side of garlic bread or a salad for a complete meal.
