Pasta With Bell Peppers, Pesto and Sweet Italian Sausage image

Wonderfully refreshing recipe made with all fresh ingredients. Great any time of the year. My whole family loves this dish. I like to serve with fresh steamed brocolli, sprinkled with garlic powder or parmesan cheese.

Time 30m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups cooked penne pasta
3 sweet Italian sausage links
1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, peeled
5 medium tomatoes
5 large fresh basil leaves
20 sprigs fresh cilantro
1 medium orange bell pepper
1 medium red bell pepper
1/4 cup basil pesto

Steps:

  • Remove casing from sausage links. Heat skillet, and add links. Break up meat while cooking (like ground beef consistancy) Cook until nicely browned.
  • Place on paper plate with paper towel to soak up extra grease. Place aside until needed.
  • Wash tomatoes and slice up into workable size. Place in food processor.
  • Peel garlic cloves and place in processor with tomatoes.
  • Cut lemon in half, squeeze juice from one half on top of tomatoes and garlic on food processor.
  • Wash basil and cilantro. Place herbs in food processor as well.
  • Process until all tomatoes are chopped up - NOT until smooth. You want a little chunkiness. Sauce will be a little watery. (I have thought about adding a small can of tomato paste or something here to thicken the sauce and make it more like what you would get out of a jar, however I have never tried it so I'm not sure how it would work/taste.).
  • Wash and cut up pepper. Cut into slices and then cut the slices in half.
  • Place tomato sauce in pan and add in meat. Heat for 5-10 minutes over medium heat until warm. Add in pepper for a few minutes and cook until desired firmness. (I only put them in for about 2-3 minutes as I like them just warm, and still crunchy.).
  • Mix sauce with warm pasta, stir in pesto and serve ENJOY!

SWEET PEPPER PESTO



Sweet Pepper Pesto image

I like the versatility of this flavorful puree. Spread it on slim, toasted baguette slices and top it with a slice of red onion and/or feta cheese as an appetizer; mound it up into a dish for dipping vegetable sticks into; spoon it over pasta and grate Parmesan over it. We serve it as a relish to the Shabbat roast chicken. I also like to spread a thin layer of it over sandwich bread before adding the filling.

Categories     Peppers

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 red bell peppers
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil, but more if needed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf (optional)

Steps:

  • Grill or bake the peppers till the thin skins are black; this usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Take them out and put them into a plastic bag; they will soften and become moist, and the skin will peel off. Rinse the peppers to get rid of any flakes of burnt skin.
  • Process the peppers, the pine nuts, and the olive oil in a blender till you obtain a creamy paste; thin it to a looser paste if you want, with more olive oil. If adding fresh basil, make sure the leaves are washed and patted dry before adding to the blender jar.
  • Add salt and ground pepper to taste.
  • Keep in a well-covered jar in the fridge, and use it up within two weeks.
