Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta With Sausage Recipes

ROASTED RED PEPPER ITALIAN SAUSAGE PASTA

Steps:

• Bring large pot of water to boil. Salt it well and cook bucatini until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
• While pasta is cooking, remove sausage from casings and start cooking in a large, deep skillet over medium heat with onions. As meat cooks, break it apart in small pieces.
• Once onion is tender, add in garlic and mushrooms and cook 2 minutes. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste.
• Measure out cream and add to blender along with drained roasted red peppers. Blend about 20 seconds or until most of the red peppers have been pureed into the cream. I left mine slightly chunky.
• Pour this mixture over the cooked meat and onions and bring to a gentle simmer then reduce the heat down to low. Toss with pasta, basil leaves and cheese until well coated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately.
