One Pot Sausage Peppers and Onions Pasta
A quick and easy delicious dinner all cooked in one pot. Classic sausage, peppers and onions tossed with rigatoni and marinara sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 lb hot Italian sausage
- 2 bell peppers sliced into strips
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 8 oz rigatoni pasta
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ¾ cup water
- ¼ cup pecorino romano or parmesan cheese grated
- fresh basil and oregano optional
Instructions
- In a pot on medium heat, add oil and sear the Italian sausage for 3 minutes on each side until browned. Set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté pepper and onions for 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Slice the sausage into 1 inch pieces and add to the pot along with pasta, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and water. Mix until combined.
- Cover and bring to a boil then cook until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Check for doneness around 15 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, mix in ¼ cup more water until the pasta is cooked.
- Serve with pecorino romano or parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil and oregano if desired.
Notes
- Taste the pasta for doneness. Cooking times will vary if you use a different pasta shape like penne, shells, rotini, or farfalle.
