Roasted Red Pepper and Spicy Italian Sausage Pasta

Ingredients:

• 1 box bowtie pasta
• 2 12 oz. cans tomato sauce
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 red bell peppers
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 hot Italian sausages (raw, so you can just use the meat not in sausage form)
• a pinch of red pepper flakes
• salt, pepper, olive oil

Instructions:

• Roast the red peppers: turn gas burner on high and just burn the hell out of the bell peppers.  Get a good black char on them and set them aside.
• Cook diced onion on medium heat in olive oil until softened but not browned.  Add garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan and reduce heat to low.
• Meanwhile, run bell peppers under cold water and peel of charred skin.  Roughly chop the peppers and add to onions and garlic.
• Add cans of sauce to the onions and puree the mixture.  Add pasta to salted boiling water.
• Cooked ground sausage in a separate pan.  When cooked, add to sauce.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Drain cooked pasta and mix into sauce.  Serve with parmesan cheese.
