SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS RUSTICA

Steps:

• Brown sausages over Medium Heat in lightly oiled large frying pan. Once sausages are browned, cut into discs and cook each side until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, cut up the peppers and onion, julienne style. Add to cooked sausages in the pan.
• Lightly salt this mixture, continue cooking over Medium heat until vegetables are softened.
• Add marinara sauce, cover and cook for at least twenty minutes on Low. For best results, cook on low for a few hours, stirring occasionally (this incorporates all the flavors of the sausage and peppers into the sauce).
• Meanwhile, cook penne pasta al dente. Drain, add to sauce mixture.
• Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese, mix thoroughly and serve.
• ** This will be a very saucy mixture, I like that for dipping bread! If you prefer less sauce, use about 36 oz sauce, or pour out some sauce prior to adding the pasta in the final step -- it will be a delicious snack at some point! **.
