RIGATONI WITH SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan.
• Keeping the pan over medium heat, add the bell peppers, onions, salt, and pepper and cook until golden, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, and basil and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until incorporated, then add the Marsala, tomatoes with their juice, and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the brown bits. Bring to a simmer.
• Cut the sausages into 4 to 6 pieces each. Return the sausages to the pan. Simmer uncovered until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
• While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and add to the thickened sauce; toss to combine. Spoon into individual bowls and sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS RIGATONI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450f. Roast the sausage links for approximately 25 (flipping halfway through) minutes or until cooked through and browned. Slice the sausage on a bias into 1/2" thick pieces once cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, heat a very large pan to medium-low and add the olive oil and garlic. Once the garlic turns golden add the peppers and onions and mix to coat with the oil. Pour the water into the pan, cover, and cook over medium heat until soft.
• At this time bring a large pot of salted water (2 tablespoons kosher salt per gallon) to boil.
• After 15 minutes of cooking, remove the lid from the peppers and continue to cook over medium heat until most of the water evaporates and the peppers are very soft.
• Once the water has mostly evaporated, add the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Next, add the crushed plum tomatoes and bring the sauce to a simmer.
• Add the sliced sausage links to the sauce and continue to simmer. Season the sauce with the oregano and begin to boil the pasta.
• Cook the pasta to 1 minute less than al dente, drain and add to the sauce. Cook until the pasta is just al dente then turn off the heat. Taste test the sauce and season with salt, pepper, and more oregano if desired to taste. Add the Pecorino and stir to incorporate. Finish with hand-torn basil and serve immediately. If the pasta is at all dry add a couple of ounces of reserved pasta water to loosen it up. Enjoy!
