Pasta with Sausage and Peppers – Sybaritica

Pasta with Sausage and Peppers combines spicy Grilled Italian Sausage with mixed Bell Peppers, Green Chili Pepper, Garlic, Tomato, and Herbs.

• 2 pre-cooked Italian Sausages Sweet or Hot;
• 3 small Peppers red, yellow, and orange;
• 1 small Jalapeño;
• 1 medium to large Tomato;
• ½ a small Onion;
• 1 tsp. chopped Garlic;
• 1 Tbsp. fresh chopped Thyme;
• 2 Tbsp. fresh chopped Parsley;
• 1 pinch each Salt and Pepper;
• 2 portions cooked Pasta of choice.

• Slice the Onion, Bell Pepper, and Jalapeño into thin slivers, slice the Sausage into sections on the bias, and finely dice the Tomatoes.
• Fry the sausage slices in a pan to heat through, or on a ridged grill pan to produce grill marking. Set aside and keep warm.
• Fry the Onion and Bell Peppers until softened and starting to brown in places. Remove to the same receptacle as the sausages.
• Heat 4 Tablespoons of Oil in a pan over high heat and add the Garlic, followed a few moments later by the Tomatoes.
• Cook the Tomatoes down to form a sauce, adding Water, White wine or pasta cooking water as necessary to produce the desired volume and consistency.
• Finally, add the herbs and Jalapeno along with the salt and pepper and, after a minute or so, add back the sausages, onion and peppers.
• Cook through and serve over the pasta. Garnish with a little chopped parsley if desired and pass grated cheese at the table.
