This is the first time I`ve tried paccheri pasta. They look amazing but a little challenging to catch on the fork .
I had some roasted peppers in the freezer and thought it would make a great sauce for pasta. Bell peppers must be roasted and peeled.
Also I added a fresh sausage in the sauce, I used Toulouse sausage, if you want it to be a little spicy, you can add chili peppers as well.
