Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Precook the Italian sausage. If I am thinking ahead, I will smoke it ahead of time. If not, I just boil it for about 12-15 minutes. You could also precook it in the oven. Just need to be able to cut it up without it falling apart.
* Step 2
Sausage and Pepper Marinara:
* Step 3
Rough chop bell peppers & onions.
* Step 4
Cut up sausage into larger chunks. I cut each one into 4 pieces them split them. 8 pieces per link.
* Step 5
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add peppers & onions, salt and pepper.
* Step 6
Cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
* Step 7
Add Italian sausage, garlic powder and crushed red pepper. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until sausage browns a bit and peppers are just tender crisp. About 15 minutes.
* Step 8
Reduce heat to low. Add marinara sauce, basil, and oregano. Stir occasionally and simmer about 15-20 minutes.
* Step 10
Bring a pot of salted water to a roiling boil. Add one tsp olive oil (this helps prevent noodles from sticking to pot and adds a bit of flavor).
* Step 11
Add pasta and cook to desired doneness (about 15 minutes for al dente).
* Step 12
When pasta is cooked how you like it, drain, and place in large bowl. Add 2nd tbsp of olive oil, parsley, and basil. Toss to coat.
* Step 14
Place sausage and peppers marinara over pasta. Top with a good parmesan or similar cheese.
