Magic Sausage & Peppers
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

- 1 teaspoon Cracked Red Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.
- Put water on to boil for the pasta.

- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium high heat.
- 3.
- While it heats, dice the onion and mince the garlic.
- Try not to cry.
- It wont be long before you are eating deliciousness.
- 4.
- Once the butter is melted, add the diced onion.
- 5.
- Allow the onion to cook down and become translucent, brown even.
- Mmmmm.
- I love those brown tidbits in the bottom of the pan.
- 6.
- While this is happening, slice the sausage into bite size pieces.
- 7.
- Turn down the heat to medium and add the garlic.
- Stir it around so it browns.
- DONT let it burn!
- Take the pan off the heat if you must!
- Or add more oil or butter.
- Because whats better than that?
- 8.
- After a minute or two of browning the garlic, add the pieces of sausage.
- Put the lid on the pan and allow the sausage to cook.
- 9.
- By now, the water should be boiling for your pasta.
- Add olive oil and/or salt to your water...
- If youre into that sort of thing.
- Then, add the pasta.
- Stir it around and turn the heat down to medium.
- 10.
- Dice the Bell peppers.
- As I said, I am not a fan of the green ones, but you can use whatever you like... Dont worry, I wont come after you.
- And I dont think Ree will mind at all.
- 11.
- Go back to the sausage.
- It should be a little pink now just in the middle.
- If so, add the peppers.
- Allow them to brown a bit.
- 12.
- Check you pasta.
- You want it al dente.
- You are going to be adding it to the sausage o deliciousness and it will cook more so dont fret.
- When its ready, drain the pasta and set aside.
- 13.
- Now, go back to the sausage.
- Everything should be cooked and ready to go.
- Turn the heat to just above medium.
- Add the vinegar and wait for it to bubble.
- 13a.
- *HINT* You may want to add a full cup of vinegar.
- This creates for a tangier dish.
- Trust me that the recipe is VERY forgiving.
- If you make a mistake and add to much, just let it cook down a bit after seasoning and add a dibble dabble of more sugar.
- 14.
- Once the vinegar is bubbling, add the sugar, cracked red & black pepper, and the salt.
- Stir it around.
- Get the bits of heavenly brown things off the bottom of the pan.
- Mix it all together.
- 15.
- Taste it.
- Does it taste good to you?
- Then youre good!
- Does it need more salt?
- More sugar?
- Have your way with it.
- Just because this is I like it, doesnt mean you have to, too!
- 16.
- Okay, once you are satisfied with the flavor, add the drained pasta and mix together.
- You should not have tremendous amount of liquid, but enough to coat the pasta and pour over the final dish.
- 17.
- Serve with fresh bread and butter.
- YUMMY!
