Italian Sausage and Pepper Pasta

This is freakin' amazing. EAT IT!

1 package fresh Italian sausage, mild or hot (your preference) I like Johnsonville.
Evoo
4 cloves garlic, chopped or grated
1 whole white onion, chopped
1 each yellow, green, orange, and red bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
1 small can tomato paste
1 8 0z can tomato sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Fettucine or other hearty pasta
Italian cheese blend
Garlic bread (I like Pepperidge Farm)

Preheat the oven for the bread and put on a big pot of salted water to boil.

Prick the sausages with a fork or knife and put them in a skillet with about half an inch of water and 2 tbsp of EVOO. Turn the heat onto medium-high and bring it to a boil. Then turn it down to a simmer. After the water boils off, the sausages will get brown and crispy in the oil.

In a saucepan, heat about 2 tbsp of EVOO and add the garlic and onions till they get soft. Then add the peppers strips and cook and stir till they are tender. Then add the tomato paste and about 1/2 a cup of water to the pan. Stir till the tomato is diluted and evenly spread about the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Then add the tomato sauce and mix it all up. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cover.

When you put the pasta in to boil, put the bread in the oven. Drain the pasta when it's al dente or just shy of.

When everything is all cooked, put the pasta in a baking pan and toss gently with most of the sauce. Nestle the sausages down into the saucey pasta and pour the remaining sauce on top. Cover the whole thing with lots of cheese. Take the bread out and turn off the oven. Then put the baking pan in the oven until the cheese all melts.

Take out of the oven and serve with yummy bread alongside. Enjoy!
