I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been on a little bit of a pasta kick lately. I had an idea for a pasta with sausage and peppers but felt myself falling back into my comfort zone. So when I confiscated a bag of leftover potatoes from my parents’ lake house, I knew exactly what to make.

I set off to find a recipe but nothing was EXACTLY how I had been imagining it. So I used a recipe to figure out how to cook the sausage and potatoes, adjusted the vegetables and spices to my liking, and I was on my way. If you’re looking for a hearty meal, this is it.

Next time I think I’ll try to add green and yellow bell peppers to the mix for some color variation. My friends absolutely loved this meal, we’re still talking about it a week later. This is definitely a meal I will be making again.
