Description

This Pasta with Sausage, Peppers, and Onions is a quick and easy weeknight meal that’s packed with flavor. It features Italian sausage, colorful vegetables, and a simple tomato-based sauce, all tossed with perfectly cooked fettuccine pasta.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links, sliced (or crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
  • 9 ounces fresh fettuccine pasta
  • Grated Romano cheese, for serving
  • Crushed red pepper flakes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 7 minutes, or until softened. Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Brown sausage: Add sausage to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned.
  3. Deglaze pan: Add white wine (or chicken broth) to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Combine and simmer: Add diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sautéed vegetables back to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Cook pasta: While the sauce simmers, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain.
  6. Toss and serve: Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Serve immediately with Romano cheese and crushed red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • Use sweet or spicy Italian sausage, according to your preference.
  • For a healthier version, use turkey or chicken sausage, or substitute zoodles for the pasta.
  • Fresh pasta is recommended for the best flavor and texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
