Steps
Pasta with Italian Sweet Peppers and Sausage
First, pour a swirl of extra virgin olive oil into a saucepan and let it heat up well. Add a garlic clove and let the oil become fragrant.
As soon as the oil is heated and slightly flavored, add the sausage and brown it well.Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients: take the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half, and quarter the larger ones.
Remove seeds and inner filaments from the peppers, then chop them into pieces.
Once the sausage is browned, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Place the cherry tomatoes and chopped Italian sweet peppers in the pan where you just browned the sausage. Season with a few basil leaves, add a pinch of salt, and let it cook.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and once it reaches a boil, salt it and add the pasta, letting it cook.
While the pasta is cooking, return the sausage to the pan with the cherry tomatoes and Italian sweet peppers, and remove the garlic clove from the sauce.
Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain it directly into the pan with the sauce.
Toss for a few moments, ensuring everything is well-flavored.
Plate and serve with a sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.
