Quick Sausage & Peppers Penne Bake

 I love to put something quick and easy together on sunday so I have meals for the week that I can just grab and go, the simpler the better. I love finding new recipes, but I also like winging it and throwing together my own.

I grabbed a package of sweet italian sausage and threw them on the grill.

Cut up the grilled sausage

Cut up 2 bell peppers and 1 large onion

Took a rectangle ceramic casserole dish and dumped uncooked penne, sausage, peppers and onions, 1-1/2 jars of pasta sauce and covered the dish with foil

Threw it in the over at 325 degrees F and I kept checking on it, it took about 1 hour to slow bake.

Once it was done I melted mozzerella, asaigo, romano cheese on the top and then let it cool, into the fridge it goes.

What really makes this dish is the smoky flavor of the grilled sausage and the fact that all the flavors are baked right into the pasta. This is the first time I have ever made sausage and peppers this way, and it actually came out really good and very delicious. It couldn't get simpler than this! It is a great meal to have to grab and go!

The perfect Beer to pair this simple yet awesome meal....A classic pale ale or pilsner, the hop flavor compliments the slight spice of the sausage and sweetness of the peppers and tomato sauce very nicely!
