Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mountainmama / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago This is one of my favorites. I love pasta. It really has a flavor that is all of its own. The basil is the real winner. Its fast and Cheap to make. Just remember the beer goes in the pot. :) Prep:15m Cook:25m Servings:6	Mountainmam

Ingredients

1 lbs. Rigatoni or other medium pasta shape

15 oz. fresh bratwurst

1/2 cup beer

1-1/2 cups low-fat cheddar cheese

2 sweet red peppers, coarsely chopped

1 cup onions, coarsely chopped

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 cup fresh basil

1 tbsp. olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix red pepper, onions, and garlic with 1 Tbsp. of olive oil in 9 x 13 baking dish and roast in oven for 25 minutes; stirring occasionally.

While vegetables roast, remove casing from bratwurst, crumble and brown in a skillet over medium heat until they are no longer pink and well brown. Remove bratwurst and drain on paper towel. Pour fat from skillet. Add bratwurst and beer to skillet and simmer. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Remove roasted vegetables from oven, immediately add bratwurst from skillet, add basil, pasta, 1 cup of cheese and toss to mix thoroughly. If mixture seems too dry, add some of the pasta water to moisten. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and serve.

NOTE:

When in a hurry I make it on the stovetop and in a one pan. Except the pasta. I cook it long enough to be done and throw in the pasta then the cheese. This recipes is REALLY GOOD.
