In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a hearty and tasty dish, Spaghetti with Italian Sausage and Peppers. This dish is a large platter of spaghetti topped with a rich sauce of Italian Sausage and green and red bell peppers and onions. There is a sprinkling of Romano cheese and parsley to top it off.
Ingredients:
18-oz. hot Italian link sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices (You may use more or less sausage, and you may substitute mild inn place of the hot, if you like.)
2 green bell peppers, washed and cut into strips about 1-inch long
2 red bell peppers, washed and cut into strips about 1-inch long
2 medium onions, peeled and cut into chunks about 1-inch long
24-oz. jar of Italian sauce (I used Prego Traditional, but any Italian sauce will do.)
14-oz. jar of pizza sauce (Any pizza or Italian sauce will be fine.)
16-oz. spaghetti, cooked according to package directions (I cooked only 8 oz. spaghetti, and used only half of the sauce, freezing the remainder of the sauce for a pasta meal later.)
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (You may use any type of Romano or Parmesan cheese, and you may use more or less than the 1/2 cup.)
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley, washed, dried, and snipped (You may use more or less than 1/3 cup.)
Brown the 18-oz. sliced Italian sausage in a deep skillet over medium heat. Stir gently to brown, but do not stir vigorously, as this will crumble the sausage.) When done, remove sausage with a slotted spoon, and place on paper toweling to drain. Cook 2 chopped green peppers, 2 chopped red peppers, and 2 chopped onions in the pan drippings 5 to 6 minutes, or until tender. Add browned Italian sausage, 24-oz. Italian sauce, and 14-oz. pizza sauce. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat, stirring occasionally. Place cooked spaghetti in the bottom of a large platter. Spoon the sausage mixture over the spaghetti. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese and 1/3 cup snipped parsley. Serve immediately. This dish is wonderful with Italian or French bread and a green salad. If you are looking for a easy, but impressive, dinner for your sweetheart on Valentine's day, this could be it! Enjoy!!! Happy Valentine's Day! --Betty :)

I love your show..What makes it, is that you use the same items we can get at any supermarket. You take and show us all the shortcuts we can use during cooking. Like the sauces, meat, pasta, what ever your cooking.thanks...
