Pasta with Sausage and Peppers

Chicago spring is confusing. One day it’s seventy. Then today it’s 35 and I want some serious comfort food. This recipe is warm and cozy, decently healthy, and super easy! Perfect for quick dinner during the week or to entertain a group over the weekend. Enjoy!

Ingredients (makes 6 – 8 servings):

  • One box of rigatoni
  • One pound Italian sausage links
  • 3 bell peppers in a variety of colors
  • 28 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Recipe:

  • Start cooking the pasta according to package instructions. When finished drain and set aside.
