Sausage Fra Diablo





Want something hot and spicy? This dish is great! You can use chicken sausage and ground turkey if you are opposed to the fat in the two meats, or you can use spicy or mild Italian sausages and ground beef. Add some peppers and onions, some sauce and pasta and you have a fabulous meal.

What you will need:
Four sausages
1/2 pound of ground beef
A red and green pepper
An onion
Oregano
Red pepper flakes(if desired)
Salt and pepper
Some kind of pasta
1 jar of sauce
1 can of plum tomatoes
Some red wine

Boil your sausages for about five minutes
Meanwhile cut your peppers and onion(I like to cut mine in chunks)
In a large frying pan add some olive oil
Add your onion to the hot oil, follow with the peppers
Add your ground beef or turkey
While that is simmering cut your sausages into slices
Add your oregano and red pepper flakes and plum tomatoes
Simmer for about ten minutes
Add your red wine and simmer
Add your sauce and simmer for about 20 minutes or longer.Let it bubble and then turn down the heat. I simmer mine for a long time.
Cook your pasta
I like to use elbows or penne, put in a large bowl or large sauce pan and toss.
You can simmer it on low to reheat.
Serve with crusty bread and dip baby dip. Hmmmmm... so good!
