PASTA WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGES ROASTED PEPPER & ONIONS


A simple , quick and delicious pasta meal, prepare it for your next dinner


serves 4
Ingredients:
6 Italian Sausages (you can choose either hot or medium- I mix the 2)
4 red peppers
3 big onions
half head of garlic
sausages and veggies out of the oven

Preparation:

Wash the peppers and slice them and put them on a tray with either siltpad or parchment paper,
cut your onions in half and slice them, and add them to the peppers, don't peel the garlic, add one table spoon of olive oil in small cup and brush your veggies and roast them in the oven .
while the veggies are in the oven, work on slicing your sausages by emptying them from the casing then slice them 1/2 cubes, using a non stick frying pan, without any oil or grease, add your sausages to the hot pan, and let them cook on medium heat, then will start cook and render all the fat , it will take around 10-15 minutes for the sausages to drain all the fat. and at the same time the veggies are getting roasted in the oven, take them out and move them to a clean stainless steal pan add the sausages over them, and return them to the oven for another five minutes.


The sauce is cooking..... You can even using the above as stuffing for a nice sub!!!

start boiling your pasta water, add enough sea salt to salt the water.

take your sausages from the oven and back to your stove, add one can whole tomato (28oz) break it with your hand or a knife to help releasing the juice. Let the sauce cook on medium heat, taste for seasoning. As soon as the sauce thickens its done to serve over your pasta.

Hello Shirley
before I post any recipe i try to test it for low fat , keeping in mind the right flavours.
the origin recipe is frying everything in olive oil, then add the tomatoes, by grilling the veggies and the sausages you get rid of the fat and you kept the good flavour.
if you used a healthy pasta you get a healthy meal to enjoy.. I am still working on the pastas with my husband!!!
