Preparation of Pasta with Sausage and Peppers
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil and crumble the sausage, removed from its casing. Sauté on high heat, and when it’s almost fully cooked, deglaze with a bit of white wine, let it evaporate, and then set aside.
While the sausage is cooking, wash and dry the peppers, remove the stems, seeds, and white filaments, and cut them into squares. Drain the sausage on absorbent paper and add the peppers to the fat remaining in the pan. Cook them on high heat (well-covered), adding a bit of water, until they are soft. Finally, adjust the seasoning with salt and a pinch of pepper.
Once the peppers are cooked, blend them until you obtain a smooth cream. Return to the heat and add the robiola cheese; it will only take a few moments for the heat to melt it, making your pepper cream velvety and flavorful.
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water and drain it about 3 minutes before the time indicated on the package. Toss it into the pan with the pepper cream and toss over the heat. Add the sausage (if you want to set some aside for garnishing the dish, it will look even more beautiful) and finally, we can serve this feast of flavors at the table!
An Extra Tip:
* Short pasta like rigatoni, penne, or fusilli is ideal for this dish. The shape will help hold the sauce better. If you prefer long pasta, you can opt for spaghetti or linguine;
* Use fresh and high-quality sausage. If you like a bolder taste, you can choose spicy sausage; otherwise, sweet sausage is equally perfect. Remember to crumble it into small pieces for even cooking;
* The peppers should be well-cooked until soft and slightly caramelized. This enhances their sweet flavor and makes them perfect for balancing the sausage’s savoriness;
* For a fresh touch, you can add aromatic herbs like freshly chopped parsley or basil. Add them at the end to maintain their aroma.
