Sausage and Peppers Rustica image

I developed this recipe from a series of copycat recipes I've used modeled after Olive Garden's recipe of the same name. It is DELICIOUS!! Everybody I have ever fed it to loves it, and in the unlikely event of leftovers, they are just as good the next day! Hope somebody out there sees this and uses it... one of my favorites!

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb hot Italian sausage link (I prefer Premio's brand, or Cifelli's)
1 (16 ounce) box penne pasta
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 medium onion
2 (24 ounce) jars marinara sauce, the plainer the better
1 cup pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Brown sausages over Medium Heat in lightly oiled large frying pan. Once sausages are browned, cut into discs and cook each side until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, cut up the peppers and onion, julienne style. Add to cooked sausages in the pan.
  • Lightly salt this mixture, continue cooking over Medium heat until vegetables are softened.
  • Add marinara sauce, cover and cook for at least twenty minutes on Low. For best results, cook on low for a few hours, stirring occasionally (this incorporates all the flavors of the sausage and peppers into the sauce).
  • Meanwhile, cook penne pasta al dente. Drain, add to sauce mixture.
  • Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese, mix thoroughly and serve.
  • ** This will be a very saucy mixture, I like that for dipping bread! If you prefer less sauce, use about 36 oz sauce, or pour out some sauce prior to adding the pasta in the final step -- it will be a delicious snack at some point! **.
