Sausage Pepper linguine (spaghetti)

I have made this recipe many times! It is a favorite in our house. We had pictures the night that I made this so I had to make something quick so that we could leave on time, which of course didn't happen but not due to the food! This has a ton of flavor and easy to prepare. I got this recipe out of a book in the library originally but it is a Martha Stewart recipe and you can find it on marthastewart.com

Linguine with Turkey Sausage and Peppers

Ingredients

1 pound linguine
1 pound turkey sausage (casings removed)
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 yellow (or red) bell peppers, thinly slice
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons arugula, torn( did not add this because I can never find it anywhere)
Coarse salt and ground pepper, for seasoning


Directions


1.Cook linguine. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups pasta water; return pasta to pot.
2.Meanwhile, cook sausage and 2 tablespoons water in a large covered nonstick skillet over medium until fat renders, 5 minutes. Uncover; raise heat to medium-high. Brown sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, 7 minutes.
3.Add garlic, bell peppers, and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water; cook until peppers soften, 6 minutes. Add 3/4 cup pasta water and butter; swirl to combine.
4.Transfer to pot. Add arugula; season with salt and pepper. Toss; add more pasta water as desired. Serve.



Rating -5 out of 5
look - gorgeous I just wish I had a orange pepper to go into it too because it would have made it even that much prettier
difficulty - very easy to follow instruction. the hardest part is chopping all the peppers and making sure to follow the instructions
review- This is a quick and easy dish. The recipe is simple but the flavor is so complex the sausage and all its juices really come together when you add the butter and pasta water. I made this with spaghetti but it sticks better to a flatter pasta.
