- 2 pounds ripe tomatoes
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (divided)
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 (28 ounce each) can whole tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 (15 ounce each) can tomato sauce
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (chopped)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 16 ounces pappardelle
Steps
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Chop tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion into 1-inch pieces. Toss with garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
Spread in a single layer on a foil-lined pan and roast 20 minutes. Stir and turn oven to broil. Broil 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and have some light browning on the edges.
While vegetables are roasting, brown the sausage in a large saucepan. Drain fat.
Add canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, ½ cup water, and remaining Italian seasoning. Stir in roasted vegetables with any juices.
Bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 1 hour or until sauce reaches desired consistency (add more water if needed).
Cook pappardelle in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain well, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Stir in parsley & basil into the sauce. Toss pappardelle with meat sauce, add pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency. Top with additional herbs if desired.
