Title: William Sonoma Pasta
Ingredients:
– 1 lb Italian sausage
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– 1 tsp dried basil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 12 oz penne pasta
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
2. In the same skillet, add the diced red and yellow bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet. Stir in the chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. While the sauce is simmering, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
5. Stir the heavy cream into the sauce mixture, then add the cooked sausage back to the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
6. Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss it together with the sauce until the pasta is well coated.
7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and stir until the cheese is melted and creamy.
8. Garnish the William Sonoma Pasta with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this delightful dish with a side of garlic bread and a crisp green salad.
