This Sausage and Peppers pasta recipe is so easy to make, and it has a wonderful rich, flavor that reminds me of my travels to Italy. Wonderfully simple for a weeknight dinner, it is also a dinner to prepare for a weekend supper or dinner with extended family. When I was little, we would have a big Sunday evening dinners with my grandparents and my Italian aunt and we would gather around the table to enjoy her one of her fabulous authentic recipes.
My family loves pasta and it not only tastes good, the kitchen aroma always brings someone to the kitchen wondering what is going to be on the table for dinner that night. In this Sausage and Peppers pasta recipe,the flavors come together with ground Italian sausage, sweet onions and bell peppers in a thick and flavorful traditional pasta sauce.
