Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds sweet/hot italian link sausage
1 1/3 C. green bell pepper 1 x 1/4 inch
2 Tbsp. olive oil
3/4 pound ziti pasta cooked
parmesan cheese grated
parsley bouquets
5 C. marinara sauce
28 ounces canned tomatoes-italian style or plum
10 3/4 ounces tomato puree
1 tsp. garlic minced
4 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 C. fresh basil packed, chopped
salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

Bake or pan-fry the sausages until fully cooked, drain, cool. Halve the sausages and cut the split sausages into 1/2 inch slices. Saute the bell peppers in olive oil over moderate heat only until their crispness is loss, but peppers are not soft. In a heavy sauce pan add the tomatoes, tomato puree, garlic, olive oil and fresh basil and bring to a light simmer on moderate heat. Add the sauteed pepper strips and cooked sausage and heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the pasta, topped with the sausage, peppers and salsa marinara and garnish each plate with a parsley bouquet. Pass the Parmesan.
