This is something I came up with when I didn't allow myself enough time to prepare dinner. The meat and veggies were supposed to be a filling for a stromboli, then I ended up using it for this pasta dish instead. It turned out to be a delicious dinner treat! You can change to ground beef, other peppers, pasta or a different cheese. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 lb sweet italian sausage, casings remove and crumbled |
1/2 cup diced onion |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper |
1 (28 ounce) italian plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped |
1 1/2 cups whipping cream |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 -2 teaspoon italian seasoning |
12 ounces penne pasta |
freshly grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, onion and garlic. Cook until sausage is no longer pink and onion is translucent, stirring frequently.
2. Add bell pepper, tomatoes, cream, salt, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly.
3. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender.
4. Toss sauce with pasta, Parmesan cheese, if desired.
