Today was cold, dreary, and rainy in Boston…not the weather one hopes for on the first day of May. It made me want to make something warm and hearty, so I turned to an old favorite. This recipe was given to me by a friend’s brother (though my guess is that it actually comes from their mom). I like to serve it with pasta or an Italian roll and a salad.
Sausage and peppers
Source: The Confortis
Serves: 4+
Ingredients
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 1/2 pounds Italian sausage, sweet or hot (I like to mix sweet and hot)
pepper to taste
Directions
1. In a large pot, saute onion, garlic, and mix of peppers.
2. Cook sausage (grill or pan fry). Cut cooked sausage into bite-size pieces.
3. Add tomato sauce, paste, and cooked sausage to mix of peppers, onions, and garlic.
4. Mix and let simmer. Add pepper to taste and enjoy!
Hopefully my little babies will continue to grow big and strong so I can make this with homegrown tomatoes and peppers later this year!
