SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS RUSTICA



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! **.

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND PEPPER RUSTICA - OLIVE GARDEN RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Grilled Sausage and Pepper Rustica - Olive Garden Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound Italian Sausage
2 bell peppers you can use red, green, yellow, or orange
1 cup of sliced onion you can use white or yellow
1 jar 26 ounce jar of marina sauce (I recommend Barilla Spicy Marina)
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound dry penne pasta

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil, slice sausage into bite size pieces and cook sausage until browned. Remove sausage from pan and set aside. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to pan and add sliced peppers and onions and season with salt and cook until onions are transparent, and the peppers have cooked until they are tender. Add browned sausage to pan and stir thoroughly. If you want this to be spicy add red pepper flakes 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon depending on how spicy you want. Add sauce to pan and heat well. Add 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and stir in melted cheese. Pour this over cooked pasta and mix well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of sausage, such as chorizo, kielbasa, or bratwurst. Just be sure to choose a sausage that is fully cooked and has a good flavor.
  • Use fresh peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type of pepper used in this dish, but you can also use other types of peppers, such as poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, or even hot peppers. Just be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use depending on their heat level.
  • Slice the peppers thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the sausage and peppers plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the sausage and peppers over medium heat: This will help to prevent the sausage from burning and the peppers from becoming too soft.
  • Season the sausage and peppers with your favorite herbs and spices: Some popular choices include garlic, onion, oregano, basil, and thyme.
  • Serve the sausage and peppers immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot off the skillet.

Conclusion:

Sausage and peppers rustica is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with just a few ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like your sausage and peppers spicy or mild, or you prefer to use different types of sausage or peppers, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
