3 Pepper Pasta

---

This is a family favorite. i modified this recipe from an old roommate in college. she would make a vegetarian version without italian sausage. it was also wonderful. hope you enjoy!!

---

Steps

---

Brown the sausage well , crumbling with a fork.

---

Remove from skillet and set aside.

---

Remove excess grease.

---

In a large skillet , heat olive oil.

---

Add onion and cook to desired tenderness.

---

Add mushrooms and garlic and cook 3-4 minutes.

---

Add peppers and cook to desired tenderness.

---

When the veggies are at your desired tenderness , add the red wine vinegar and sugar.

---

If using sausage , add the meat back to the skillet.

---

If i am using fresh basil , i add it last.

---

However , if i am using dried basil , i add it with the mushrooms.

---

Pour all contents over al dente penne pasta.

---

I like to top with grated parmesan cheese.
