Description

Red Pepper Italian Pasta. Super simple Italian pasta.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, Divided Use
  • 3 cloves Garlic (peeled And Lightly Crushed)
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Pepper Flakes, Plus More If Needed
  • 1 pound Spicy Italian Chicken Sausage, Removed From Casings
  • 2 whole Red Bell Peppers, Stem And Seeds Removed Then Sliced Into Strips
  • 1 whole Orange Bell Pepper, Stem And Seeds Removed Then Sliced Into Strips
  • 1 pound Fettuccine Pasta
  • ½ cups Grated Fresh Parmesan, Plus More For Garnish
  • ¼ cups Chopped Italian Flat Leaf Parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Basil

Preparation

In a small pan, heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until light brown and fragrant. It’s important not too burn the garlic or else it will become bitter. Remove and discard the browned garlic. Add the red pepper flakes into the garlic-infused oil and saute for 1 minute. Turn off heat and set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium high with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken sausages and break up using a wooden spoon; brown all over. Add the bell peppers and saute until soft. Remove from heat until the pasta is done.

In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions for al dente. When done reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

Add the pasta to the sausage skillet and heat over medium heat. Toss, toss, toss to combine. Carefully add the garlic oil and as much pasta water as you need to make a sauce. Add the Parmesan and toss some more. Remove pan from heat and top with fresh herbs. Serve hot.
