Creamy Macaroni With Sausage, Peppers & Mushrooms

• 2/3 pound macaroni or elbow pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 10 ounces mild Italian sausage, casing removed and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 large bell pepper, or half a red and half a green bell pepper, cut into
• 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
• 1/2 large onion cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1 cup)
• 6 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, quartered or diced if large
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh or canned tomato
• 1/3 cup dry red wine
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• Finely chopped Italian parsley, to garnish
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to garnish

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta and begin cook according to package directions while you make the sauce. When draining the pasta, save about 1 cup of the cooking water.
2. Swirl the olive oil around in a large skillet over high heat. When very hot, add the sausage in a single layer and allow to brown deeply without stirring for 2-3 minutes. Flip over and brown on the other side, then break up into smaller pieces. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
3. Add the pepper and onions to the pan and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and salt and pepper to taste, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften, 5 minutes.
4. Return the sausage to the pan with the tomatoes and wine, bring to a simmer and reduce until the wine has the consistency of a glaze, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and some of the parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste, then stir in the pasta and enough cooking water to loosen the sauce. You may need to keep adding more water as the noodles absorb it.
5. Serve immediately in shallow bowls with the parsley and Parmesan.
