Italian Sausage Pappardelle

Pappardelle are long, flat and broad ribbons of egg-based pasta that originated in Toscana (Tuscany); a delight for pasta lover’s like me!  It’s a classic pasta for bolognese and other meaty sauces such as this one . . . 

Italian Sausage Pappardelle    About 6 servings

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup sweet yellow onion, chopped

1/2 large red pepper, chopped - optional

About 4 oz. button mushrooms - optional
