Sausage Pasta With Vegetables
Sausage Pasta With Vegetables combines cooked pasta with seared chicken sausage and a sauce made from sautéed bell pepper, onion, garlic, and a spiced tomato base with hot sauce. Ricotta cheese is stirred in to create a creamy consistency that blends smoothly with the savory components. This dish balances heat and richness, with tender peas adding a mild sweetness to the overall hearty texture.

Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta any shape
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 5 chicken sausage links cut into coins
- 1 onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bell pepper sliced, orange
- 28 oz passata
- 2 tsp El Yucateco Red Marisquera Hot Sauce
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup peas frozen
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the packaging instructions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil to make sure the noodles don't stick.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium high heat. Sear the sausage until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and seat aside.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan. Saute the onion until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a minute. Add the pepper and cook until it's slightly soft.
- Add the pasta, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, kosher salt and the El Yucateco Red Marisquera Hot Sauce and give it a good stir to combine.
- Lower the heat to medium and mix in the ricotta cheese. Stir so there are no lumps left. Add in the sausage and peas followed by the cooked pasta. Give it a good stir so all is well combined.
- Plate and finish with freshly grated parmesan and basil if desired.

Notes
- Substitute chicken sausage with beef or other preferred sausage types if desired.
- If fresh pasta is unavailable, pasta sauce or crushed tomatoes can replace passata for the sauce base.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to increase or decrease spiciness according to taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days for convenience.
