pass the pasta please!

How To Make pass the pasta please!

• 
  Step 1
  In a non stick pan add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted into the oil add all the sausages and brown on all sides, remove and set aside.
• 
  Step 2
  While the sausages are browning, drain the mushrooms and slice in ½. In the same pan add the mushrooms and brown them slightly in the oil, remove and set aside with the sausage.
• 
  Step 3
  Again in the same pan leaving the favorable grease sauté the Anaheim’s and bell peppers. After about 5 minutes add the zested garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, remove from the pan and add it to the meat and mushrooms.
• 
  Step 4
  Let the grease cool, scraping the bottom to get all those bits and pieces and refrigerate.
• Step 5
  TO MAKE THE PASTA:
• 
  Step 6
  In a large soup pot put the spicy V8, the red pepper flakes and the juice from the fire roasted tomatoes, I like to put a small strainer over the pot and then put the tomatoes in to drain in the strainer to make sure I get all the juice. Bring this to a boil and then add the pasta, keep the pasta moving otherwise it could stick to the bottom of the pot. Cook according to package directions { I always do it about 4 minutes shy of the recommended time, when doing a dish like this } as it will cook again with all the meats and peppers. Once the pasta is done remove it from the tomato cooking liquid { DO NOT DISCARD THE TOMATO COOKING LIQUID }.
• 
  Step 7
  Add the sugar to the pot and bring the tomato liquid to a boil and then turn it down to a slow boil to reduce it so you have about 1 & ½ cups. This could take up to 30 minutes.
• Step 8
  TO ASSEMBLE THE REST OF THE RECIPE:
• 
  Step 9
  Cut the browned sausages on the diagonal and add them along with the mushrooms, Anaheim peppers, 1 jar artichokes and the fire roasted tomatoes into a large non stick pan, add the reduced tomato sauce, and cook on low “covered” for about 20 minutes, stirring often. At that time check for seasonings { salt and pepper }.
• 
  Step 10
  Toss in the pasta and mix thoroughly cooking for about 5 more minutes.
• Step 11
  TO SERVE:
• Step 12
  Sprinkle liberally with the Parmesan cheese and serve with crusty garlic bread.
