COOK

READY IN
1 hr

Bake or pan-fry sausage until fully cooked. Drain.

Cut sausages half lengthwise; then cut into 1/2" slices. Result will be semi-circles of sausage.

Sauté pepper slices in olive oil until their crispness is lost, but not soft.

For Salsa Marinara (5 cups):
Do not puree the tomatoes, just break them up.

Combine tomatoes, tomato puree, garlic, olive oil and fresh basil in sauce pan. Bring to a light simmer.

Cook pasta. Drain and transfer to four warmed plates. Top with sausage, peppers and salsa marinara.

Garnish each plate with parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

A delicious sausage and pepper dish served with home made salsa marinara sauce over ziti pasta. My husband quit going to Olive Garden because they took this recipe off there menu.
