Penne, Peppers, and Chicken-Apple Sausage Saute

This recipe originated with my son, who makes it with very spicy chicken sausages. I loved it so much that I adapted it to suit our taste. Because my husband prefers less spicy food, I use milder chicken-apple sausage. This is one of our favorite dinners.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 sweet red peppers, chopped

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 4 cloves cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press

  • 5 links precooked chicken and apple sausage, sliced into 1/4-thick rounds

  • 3 (16 ounce) packages penne pasta

  • garlic and herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®) to taste

  • sea salt to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir peppers until slightly tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in onions and cook until onions soften and turn golden, 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Stir sausage slices into onions and peppers, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.

  4. Stir drained penne into sausage and onions and reduce heat to low. Season with garlic and herb seasoning, sea salt, and pepper to taste.

Chilean-Style Sopaipillas

Chilean-Style Sopaipillas

This is a traditional Chilean snack, or maybe an appetizer. The truth is that it's a snack eaten during wintertime, especially when it rains. It is typical to arrive home after walking through the rainy streets of Santiago and sit down to have a cup of tea and eat a couple of sopaipillas. You can also eat ones sold by street vendors, but they usually don't taste as good as homemade ones. If you can't find zapallo, pumpkin is a good substitute.
