Method

Grill sausage and slice into one inch pieces. Slice all peppers and onion into thin slices and coat with olive oil, then grill until tender, about 10 minutes. Roll basil into a cigar form and chop until fine. In a large bowl, combine peppers, onion and sausage with basil, thyme, garlic and both cheeses. Add 1/2 bottle of dressing. Stir in cooked pasta and remaining dressing. Serve in a large bowl with a sprinkle of parsley on top.

 

Notes: If you do not grill the sausage, it can be prepared on the stove in a skillet. Also the peppers and onions can be cooked this way.

 

Number of Servings: 8
