- 1 lbs Ground Beef Italian Sausage recipe below
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 Onion
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup pesto
- 1 lbs pasta
Begin by browning your ground beef.
Remove from skillet and set aside. While the ground beef cooks slice the peppers and onions into strips about the size of the penne pasta.
As you are working on the sauce cook your pasta to al denta.In the same skillet the ground beef was in sauté your peppers, onions and garlic, using the moisture from the vegetables to begin deglazing the pan. Cook the vegetables until they begin to soften, but try to keep them a little crisp or “al dente”. Stir in the tomato paste and cook out about a minute. Add the wine and deglaze the pan further if needed. Add in your tomatoes and pesto. Bring to a simmer and allow to thicken slightly into a nice sauce.
Put your ground beef back in skillet with the sauce and add the cooked pasta and toss to combine. Enjoy with shaved parmesan over the top and some good crusty bread!
