This is an awesome dish to entertain with. Whenever we are having a potluck dinner party, I like to try and make this the main attraction. If I know we are going to have plenty of people, I will make one dish with the sweet sausage and one with the spicy kind. There is hardly ever anything left to clean out of the pans because everyone loves it so much. I love it too just because it’s so easy to make. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at My Recipes:
“I made this last night thinking I would be the only one who liked it. I was pleasantly surprised, my husband and both kids loved it!”
When you want a satisfying dinner on the table fast, give this one a shot.
Ingredients
Salt and pepper
1 pound penne
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound sweet or hot Johnsonville Italian sausage, removed from casings
1 large red bell pepper, seeded, thinly sliced
1 large green bell pepper, seeded, thinly sliced
1 small onion, halved, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons garlic-herb seasoning
1 teaspoon McCormick’s Italian seasoning
Kraft Grated Parmesan for serving, optional
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook penne until al dente, approximately 9 minutes or as package label directs. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot.
Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring to break up chunks, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove sausage to a plate, and pour off all but 1 Tbsp. fat.
In same skillet, cook peppers, onion and seasonings over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. Add sausage to pepper mixture; cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 30 seconds. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
Add sausage mixture to pasta. Toss to combine, adding cooking liquid as necessary to moisten. Serve hot, topped with Parmesan if desired.
