How to Make Another Sausage And Pepper Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 large green bell pepper (chopped) and 1 large red bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until peppers are tender-crisp.
3. Remove peppers and garlic with a slotted spoon to a large bowl and set aside.
4. Add 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage (removed from casings) to the skillet and brown thoroughly, breaking it up with a spoon. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

6. Add 2 cups of your favorite tomato sauce (homemade or jarred) and 2 cups cooked pasta (penne, rigatoni, or your favorite shape) to the skillet. Stir to combine.
7. Pour the sausage, pepper, and pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

10. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden brown.
