Ingredients

  • 1 lb penne pasta
  • 12 oz fresh sweet/hot Italian sausages, removed from casing
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes with basil
  • 1⁄2 tsp each salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook as package directs.

  2. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 5 minutes, or until browned, breaking up chunks with a wooden spoon. Remove to a plate.

  3. Add oil, peppers and onion to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Push vegetables aside, add garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant. Add sausage, tomatoes, salt and pepper; stir to combine all. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors.

  4. Drain pasta, transfer to a large serving bowl and add sauce. Toss to mix and coat.
