Pasta With Roasted Peppers & Sausage

Submitted by kitty.rock

"This is from the Ronzoni pasta box and it is delicious. Love roasting the vegetables in the oven with the peppers, before adding any tomatoes. I use 6-inch long chicken Italian sausages, and just cut into 1-inch chunks before they go in the oven."

We really enjoyed this for our dinner tonight. I used sweet Italian sausage and taking KateL's recommendation I boiled it first. I started cooking the peppers and onions and boiling the sausage at the same time. After 10 minutes, I stirred the peppers and onions and added the sausage. After 25 minutes (15 min more) I sliced the sausage and I think they would have benefited from a longer boiling time. As I was only serving 4, I made half of the amount of fettuccine. I plated the fettuccine, then topped with the sausage, peppers, and onions. It smelled wonderful while it was cooking and I love the roasting. Oh, and I did cut the olive oil back by a tablespoon. Thanks for sharing! Made for Best of 2013 tag.

Delicious and EASY pasta meal! I used sweet Italian turkey sausage and added a generous sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes. You can whip this up with minimal effort with staple ingredients, which makes it great for a busy workday. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2013 event, recommended by KateL

Fabulous weeknight meal! This takes our usual marinara and sautéed sausage up a notch. DH wants the full flavor, but for WW, I would bake the sausage separately on a drip pan so we wouldn't eat all of the fat. (My Italian friend says her family boils the sausage first.) We used Hot Italian sausage, which added a nice zip without overwhelming. Made for I Recommend tag based on Karen Elizabeth's review.

Very easy and very good, I do love roasted peppers! I used chorizo, this made a richly flavoursome sauce, to which I added a touch of sugar, personal taste. Thanks for sharing, made for I Recommend tag game

This was tasty, and VERY EASY! I used mild Italian sausage and crushed tomatoes (instead of diced). I also added a ton of fresh herbs, including some chopped rosemary, parsley and fresh basil. I cut up my sausage into 2" cubes at the beginning for less hassle later on. A very tasty dish served over penne pasta. Made for ZWT 7.
