Pasta with Sausage and Peppers
"For those people (such as my husband) who are not too fond of the intense tomato flavor found in many pasta dishes....this is for you. The ease of preparation is a big bonus for cooks, too. An Italian cookbook that has been in my collection for almost fifty years includes this recipe."

I have made this several times because honestly "I LOVE THIS SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS RECIPE!". I do suggest adding cherry or grape tomatoes which adds a nice color and great flavor. -
NICE !!! This was a great pasta dish !!! I really enjoyed the creamyness of the sauce . I made this exactly as written but , I might consider adding a touch of tomato paste (a tablespoon or so ) next time just to see if it brightens the flavor a bit ! It was very good !! -
This was just OK for me but has potential. The only change I made was to substitute evaporated milk for the cream. Found it to quite bland so next time I will play around with the spices. Red pepper flakes for one comes to mind. May try roasting or grilling the veggies separately as well. Thanks NoSpringChicken this does have potential.

This was excellent! I was skeptical --- marjoram, cream?? However, it all works. Thank you, this one is a keeper. -
This is a hearty, beautiful dish that was wonderfully easy and fast to make! I'll bet the sausage mixture, if thickened a bit more with extra parmesan cheese, would be fabulous on an Italian roll, too. I served it with farfalle pasta, and my family loved it!

This was a very tasty dish. I, too, used what I had available. I substituted ground beef and added rosemary, thyme, and basil for the sausage. Then I also substited fresh pimiento peppers for the bell peppers which have a similar flavor. It was a crowd pleaser. They liked the change from tomato sauce.
