Cooking Steps
- Thinly slice mushrooms.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
- Drain, then roughly chop olives.
- Add softened butter and half the garlic puree to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then sausage and mushrooms. Cook, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Meanwhile, add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.
- Add remaining garlic puree, onions, peppers and Italian Seasoning to the pan with sausage. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until peppers soften slightly, 3-4 min.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, reserved pasta water (from step 3) and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Bring sauce up to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 min.
- Meanwhile, halve buns. Spread garlic butter over cut-sides of buns.
- Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle mozzarella over top. Broil in the middle of the oven until cheese is melted and buns are golden-brown, 1-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn.)
- Add sauce and half the olives to the pot with penne, then stir to combine.
- Divide pasta and cheesy garlic toast between plates.
- Sprinkle Parmesan and remaining olives over pasta.
