Italian Sausage and Pepper Pasta is a simple dish that is loaded with great flavor and is one of my favorite comfort foods.

Italian Sausage and Pepper Pasta

This Italian sausage and pepper pasta is an easy meal that you can make any day of the week. The peppers and onions can be cut up the day before to make the meal even faster.

Mike and I love Italian sausage! It is one of my favorite toppings on pizza, for meats in lasagna, or when making a dish with pasta. It doesn’t matter if it is mild or hot it is one of my favorite comfort foods.

I love simple dishes like this. This dish as you can see doesn’t have a sauce added to it (I really don’t think it needs one), but if you prefer to serve it with a sauce a red sauce would work great.

    Love the combo of Italian sausages and peppers! Terrific all by themselves, in sandwiches, and of course in pasta. Terrific dish — thanks.
