Perfection

I found a recipe I LOVE. And not just me, James too! Its from my 30 minute meals by Pampered Chef. Its simple, easy & delicious. Well, I thought it was so good I had to share. So here ya go!

Toasted Angel Hair with Sausage & Peppers

1 lb bulk hot Italian sausage
2 medium red bell peppers
1 lb uncooked angel hair pasta
3 garlic cloves, pressed
5 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 cup fresh basil
1 oz Parmesan

1. Place sausage in skillet and cook; remove from skillet and set aside.
2. As sausage cooks, slice off tops and bottoms of bell peppers; remove seeds and cut into julienne strips.
3. Add pasta to skillet and toast 8-10 minutes, stirring after each 2-minute interval with tongs. Press garlic over pasta and add broth, all of the peppers and sausage. Bring to boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer vigorously 5-6 minutes or until pasta is tender.
4. As pasta simmers, chop basil reserving half for garnish. When pasta is tender, remove from heat and stir in remaining basil.
5. To serve, divide pasta mixture among serving bowls; grate cheese over pasta. Garnish with remaining basil.


note: I use chicken bouillon cubes, you get way more for your money. I also didnt have fresh basil so I just used dried basil. And when toasting the pasta, make sure to do it in the same pan you cooked the sausage, it imports the wonderful sausage flavor to the pasta. Oh yeah, for leftovers James added soy sauce to it, SO GOOD!
