My friend Cindy has prompted me to do a pasta dish post once a week – I could do a post every day, as this is the most frequently eaten dish in our house. It can take under 30 minutes from preparation to serving, perfect for a working family. This week I made Pasta With Red Pepper, Sausage, Tomato And Mushroom. We always have tomatoes and mushrooms in the fridge as these goes in to our salad which we eat most nights when the weather is warm enough. I don’t often buy peppers or capsicums as they are called in Australia but when I do I make sure none of them are green. I used one here to make the pasta dish but as the packet usually contains three I end up roasting the balance and putting them into a jar with some olive oil to use at a later stage. These are great used in a salad made with cous cous.
