Ingredients
2
pre-cooked Italian Sausages
Sweet or Hot;
3
small Peppers
red, yellow, and orange;
1
small Jalapeño;
1
medium to large Tomato;
½
a small Onion;
1
tsp.
chopped Garlic;
1
Tbsp.
fresh chopped Thyme;
2
Tbsp.
fresh chopped Parsley;
1

each Salt and Pepper;
2
portions cooked Pasta of choice.
Instructions
Slice the Onion, Bell Pepper, and Jalapeño into thin slivers, slice the Sausage into sections on the bias, and finely dice the Tomatoes.
Fry the sausage slices in a pan to heat through, or on a ridged grill pan to produce grill marking. Set aside and keep warm.
Fry the Onion and Bell Peppers until softened and starting to brown in places. Remove to the same receptacle as the sausages.
Heat 4 Tablespoons of Oil in a pan over high heat and add the Garlic, followed a few moments later by the Tomatoes.
Cook the Tomatoes down to form a sauce, adding Water, White wine or pasta cooking water as necessary to produce the desired volume and consistency.
Finally, add the herbs and Jalapeno along with the salt and pepper and, after a minute or so, add back the sausages, onion and peppers.
Cook through and serve over the pasta. Garnish with a little chopped parsley if desired and pass grated cheese at the table.
