A slightly spicy, creamy pasta dish. The texture reminds me of a fancy mac&cheese, but there's only 1/4 cup of cheese in the entire recipe. A yummy, savory, EASY dish, especially on a chilly night. Ingredients:
1/2 lb mild italian sausage, ground |
1/2 lb hot italian sausage, ground |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon canola oil |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
2 bell peppers, or |
10 mini sweet peppers |
8 ounces fat-free evaporated milk |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
8 ounces pasta, radiatore |
to taste salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Roast bell peppers in oven [400 degrees, coat whole peppers in oil, bake 20 min, turning occasionally, until skins are browned. To easily peel, put in ziploc bag for 15-30min before peeling].
2. Peel and seed peppers. Puree in food processor or blender until creamy. Set aside.
3. Cook the pasta while you are doing the steps below.
4. Heat oil over medium-high heat, add garlic and saute a couple of minutes.
5. Add italian sausage and heat until thoroughly cooked. Drain on paper towels, drain off excess grease.
6. Add sausage back to pan, and mix in evaporated milk, pureed pepper, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
7. Stir in parmesan cheese.
8. Fold pasta into mixture.
9. Divide into 6 servings, top with additional parmesan if desired.
