“What are your favorite foods?”
Then the next question is, “what’s your favorite recipe?”
Take my friend Bruce.

Bruce loves to cook, has for as long as I’ve known him, over 20 years.
He even contributed this winner to the site last yearthegreen salsa chicken bake.
When he was visiting the other day, our chatter naturally turned to recipes.

Sometimes he swaps out the sausage for shrimp.
He’ll use any long pasta, though prefers fettuccini.
And it comes together so quickly.

Perfect for a midweek meal.
Don’t have sausage?
Have lots of basil?
Elise Bauer
Don’t have capers?
Just leave them out.
Sprinkle some on at the end if you like.

Prep the ingredients while the pasta water is heating.
While the water is heating, prepare the sausage and peppers.
Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan on medium heat.
When the sausage starts to brown, add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Mix in the roasted red peppers, capers and olives.
If the pasta water isn’t boiling yet, remove the saute pan from the heat.
Once the pasta water is boiling, add the pasta to the pot.
Toss to combine and lower the heat to medium-low.
Drain the pasta and put it in a large bowl.
Add the sausage mix to the bowl and toss to combine.
