Ingredients

SAUCE:

Topping:

  • 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage
  • 1 onion
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices cut into halves
  • 1/4 pound pastrami sliced
  • 4 oz sliced jalapenos drained
  • 4.25 oz sliced black olives drained
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 16 ounces spaghetti or linguine noodles boil according package directions

Instructions

  • Melt a little of the butter in a medium saucepan and add half of the garlic. Saute on medium heat for about a minute, then add remaining butter, whipping cream, and pepper. Bring to a slight simmer and add the parmesan cheese.
  • Lower heat and stir until cheese is completely melted in and sauce thickens. In a large pan heated on medium-high heat, piece sausage in small chunks and cook thoroughly. Add onions, peppers, mushrooms and remaining garlic. When onions become clear, add remaining ingredients and saute for about 8 minutes or until everything is hot and cooked through.
  • Remove sauce from heat and toss with cooked pasta noodles. Top pasta with skillet mixture, parmesan cheese, and hot red pepper flakes (to taste).
