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.
