This was pretty tasty. I used frozen onions and frozen peppers, so it was a little wet, but I let it simmer on the stove while the pasta was cooking, and once I added the cheese, it tightened right up. In fact, I had to add a little of the pasta cooking water to loosen it back up again. Next time, I might fry or grill some Italian sausage and use that instead of the franks; the frankfurter flavor didn't quite mesh with the Italianate flavors of the rest of the sauce; I'll probably also use a more Italian cheese like mozzarella or fontina, and add some Parmigiano.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
