Recipe Note
- If you don’t have orecchiette, any short pasta can be used.
- If you have 2 PICs, you can sauté the sausage and peppers separately. If you have 1 PIC, they can be sautéed together. Just make sure not to crowd the pan.
- Freshly roasted peppers give this hearty pasta a smoky taste, but if you can also use jarred peppers instead.
