ingredients
1 pound penne pasta
salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 pound hot Italian sausage
1/2 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
3 canned whole roasted red peppers
1 small zucchini
1/2 yellow squash
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Parmesan cheese
directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt water heavily until it tastes like the ocean. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions.
Meanwhile, slice sausages into 1 inch pieces. Heat a large saute pan with olive oil over medium high heat. Add sausage pieces and saute for a few minutes until fat begins to render. Slice onion thinly into 1/4-inch pieces and add to sausage.
Mince garlic. Slice roasted peppers into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Slice zucchini and squash in half lengthwise then crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Add garlic to onions once onions begin to soften. Saute for two minutes then add peppers, zucchini and squash. Saute for about 3 minutes until peppers are heated through and zucchini and squash are cooked. Drain pasta once cooked and add to pan with cooked vegetables and peppers.
Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.

Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
