    1 pkg (340 g) Italpasta Gluten Free Penne
    2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
    4 mild Italian sausages (about ¾ lb/375 g)
    1 onion, thinly sliced
    2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

    1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced roasted red peppers

Cook onion and garlic for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and caramelized.
