Sausage And Peppers Rustica

1. 1

   Brown sausages over Medium Heat in lightly oiled large frying pan. Once sausages are browned, cut into discs and cook each side until cooked through.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, cut up the peppers and onion, julienne style. Add to cooked sausages in the pan.

3. 3

   Lightly salt this mixture, continue cooking over Medium heat until vegetables are softened.

4. 4

   Add marinara sauce, cover and cook for at least twenty minutes on Low. For best results, cook on low for a few hours, stirring occasionally (this incorporates all the flavors of the sausage and peppers into the sauce).

5. 5

   Meanwhile, cook penne pasta al dente. Drain, add to sauce mixture.

6. 6

   Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese, mix thoroughly and serve.

7. 7

   ** This will be a very saucy mixture, I like that for dipping bread! If you prefer less sauce, use about 36 oz sauce, or pour out some sauce prior to adding the pasta in the final step -- it will be a delicious snack at some point! **.
