Spicy Bratwurst Linguine

⏱ 17 mins 🍽 4 serving(s) 🏷 Meat

This dish was created to use up leftover barbecued bratwurst, resulting in a favourite spicy pasta. Bratwursts are sliced and cooked with a medley of onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes in a garlicky oil base. The sauce is spiced with cayenne and red pepper flakes, then simmered with crushed tomatoes and Parmesan. It's all tossed with linguine for a hearty meal. Fresh Italian sausage can be used as a tasty alternative.
