How to Make Orecchiette With Hot Sausage And Roasted Red Yellow Pepper
- Preheat your broiler.
- Place 2 large red bell peppers and 2 large yellow bell peppers, skin-side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Broil 4 inches from the heat until the skins are charred and blistered, about 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Transfer peppers to a large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam for 2-3 minutes.
- Using a paper towel, rub off the pepper skins. Reserve any accumulated juices in the bowl.
- Thinly slice the roasted peppers crosswise into 1/4-inch strips and return them to the bowl. Set aside.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook 1 pound of orecchiette pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute.
- Add 1 pound of hot Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the roasted peppers to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Transfer the sausage and pepper mixture to a large bowl.
- Add the cooked pasta, 2 tablespoons of butter, the reserved pasta water, and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Toss everything together until well combined and the sauce is creamy.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Pair with a robust red wine, crusty Italian bread, and a fresh arugula salad for a complete meal.
