A hearty dish reminiscent of the sausage & peppers served at the fair - served on top of pasta instead of a bun!
8 ounces fettuccine (or your favorite pasta)
salt
3-4 tablespoons butter
2 large Italian sausages (about 1/2 lb)
1/4 large green bell pepper, sliced
1/4 large red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 small white onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
In a large, preferably cast-iron skillet, brown sausage links on all sides (this makes them easier to slice).
Remove, slice, and return to pan.
Cook sliced sausage over medium-high heat until cooked through; remove and set aside. Melt 1 tbsp butter and saute garlic for 2-3 minutes.
Add onion, peppers, and cajun seasoning.
Stir frequently, adding more butter as needed to keep the mixture from drying out. Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente.
When the onions and peppers have softened, add in the cooked sausage and heat through. Drain pasta, top each serving with a big spoonful of the sausage, onions,& peppers, and serve.
