I have wanted a cast iron skillet for some time, and this week, my kids surprised me with one! So, on this cold winter weekend, I am making one of their favorite dinners in my new skillet. This isn’t a recipe so much as just a “throw together” dinner, as I like to call it. It’s quick, easy, and hearty. Sometimes I will add fresh spinach or a can of diced tomatoes, but tonight it’s simply sausage and peppers with pasta. Let me know if you make it and what your thoughts are. Enjoy and stay warm!!
Sweet Sausage & Peppers in a Cast Iron Skillet
- 8-10 sweet Italian Sausage links
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- ½ box pasta (Bow Tie, Penne, Mafalda…your choice)
- Olive Oil
- Salt and pepper
Rinse, deseed, and slice bell peppers into strips. Slice the red onion into strips. Toss vegetables lightly in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast vegetables in a 425-degree oven for 15 minutes.
Heat a large skillet with a coating of olive oil. Remove casings from sausage and cut into pieces, adding to the heated pan. Cook over medium-high heat until brown and sizzling, about 15 minutes.
While sausage is browning and vegetables are cooking, cook a half box of pasta according to box instructions.
Remove vegetables from the oven. Drain the pasta. Add the peppers, onions, and pasta to the skillet with the sausage. Mix and serve. Top with fresh parmesan cheese.
