Monday night I was way behind on making dinner, and Casey was home. When he is home I normally like to make something that he is going to love and be excited to eat since we don't get to eat as a family very often with his CRAZY schedule!! Since Casey loves a little spicy in pretty much everything I decided to make some pasta with some spicy sausage. I grilled the sausage and some bell pepper and the flavor from the grill added so much to the pasta. We all loved it! Casey and I loved it even more paired with a beautiful Pinot Noir :)
Ingredients
1 lb hot Italian sausage
2 red bell peppers
Tomato Sauce (about 24 oz homemade or 1 jar)
4 oz fresh mini mozzarella balls, quartered
1/2 cup chopped basil
1 lb rigatoni pasta
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Put a pot of SALTED water on the stove to boil. Slice the sides off of the bell peppers and toss them with a little olive oil, with salt and pepper. Grill the bell peppers along with the sausages on the bbq. Let the bell peppers get some nice grill marks and get soft. Grill sausages until they are cooked through. Cook pasta according to directions on the box. Slice the grilled sausages and cut up the grilled peppers. When pasta is done, drain water and toss with the tomato sauce. Add in the sausage, bell peppers, mozzarella balls and basil. Toss it all together and serve.
