Instructions

1. 1
   Roast peppers. Cool, peel and slice julienne. Reserve. Quarter canned tomatoes and drain in colander.
2. 2
   In a Cuisinart, drop in garlic cloves to finely mince. Add parsley and process until minced.
3. 3
   In a large, lidded skillet (I use a 6 quart), saute whole sausage in oil until nicely browned. Remove from pan, cool and slice. To oil, add dried chile pepper, the tomatoes that have been quartered, parsley, onion, mushrooms, oregano, basil and garlic to pan. Saute about 15 minutes on low, keeping partially covered. Add aleppo pepper. There is not much sauce, so make sure it doesn't scorch.
4. 4
   Add julienned peppers with liquid, sliced sausage and cook till heated thru. Cook pasta al dente. Immediately add drained pasta to meat/vegetable mixture and combine.
