SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS RUSTICA
I developed this recipe from a series of copycat recipes I've used modeled after Olive Garden's recipe of the same name. It is DELICIOUS!! Everybody I have ever fed it to loves it, and in the unlikely event of leftovers, they are just as good the next day! Hope somebody out there sees this and uses it... one of my favorites!

Steps:
- 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.
- Meanwhile, cut up the peppers and onion, julienne style. Add to cooked sausages in the pan.
- Lightly salt this mixture, continue cooking over Medium heat until vegetables are softened.
- 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).
- Meanwhile, cook penne pasta al dente. Drain, add to sauce mixture.
- Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese, mix thoroughly and serve.
- ** 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! **.
SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS RUSTICA
I developed this recipe when my husbands favorite dish at a local italian restaurant was no longer on the menu. Try this dish, it's delicious! (You can use your favorite store bought sauce or make your own). Prep time includes boiling the sausages and allowing them to cool slightly. Let me know what you think!
