Elbows with Italian sausage, sweet red peppers, and basil

Ingredients
 12 ounces Mueller’s® Elbows
 14 ounces Italian sausage links, cut into 1-inch pieces
 2 medium red peppers, medium diced
 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
 6-7 ounces beef consommé
 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
 Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Directions
1

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well and set aside.

2

Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage on both sides. Add the red peppers and cook until the peppers are soft. Drain any excess fat.

3

Add the chopped basil and cook for approximately one minute, just enough to wilt the basil down.

4

Add the beef consommé; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes uncovered.

5

Add the hot, drained pasta to the hot sausage and pepper mixture. Add the grated cheese, salt, and black pepper. Toss together and serve immediately.
