He is tall, sturdy, and has a great passion for cooking.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, I have heard rants and tasted many of his dishes.<br \/>\nAmong them, I remember sausages cooked with potatoes and peppers altogether.<\/p>\n<p>And in the same way, I used to watch nonna while she cooked before from the threshold of the kitchen, then sitting in a corner with a promise not to go near the stove, as I did with Giovanni.<\/p>\n<p>I see Giovanni again laying the fresh herbs, he grows himself, on the bottom of the pan. Then he arranges the ingredients following specific order: aromatics, sausages, vegetables, and, last, the bread. The old one is to be recycled.<\/p>\n<p>Then he puts the pan on the stove and seals it with the lid. This recipe has a quick cook. And indeed, shortly after, he appears at the table with the pot.<\/p>\n<p>The moment of opening the pot is accompanied by a chorus of exclamations. Excitement arises from the rich scent of the herbs, the sweeter fragrance of the cooked potatoes, and the sour note of the bell pepper. Overall, there is the fragrance triumph of the sausages.<\/p>\n<p>It is a simple dish where the ingredients cook quickly and in close contact, allowing a secret and happy exchange of moods. The bread comes next, in the mouth, with a soft and flavorful bite.<\/p>\n<p>I do not add salt; the salt from the sausages is enough. Before serving, I remove the woody part of the aromatics, which, after cooking, is now stripped of the rosemary and thyme leaves.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Cook with me<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Is it a main course or a single dish? Either way, it will give you satisfaction. Sausages with potatoes and peppers go well with the traditional Bolognese salsa verde. The sauce will enhance sausages and vegetables (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/green-sauce-of-bologna\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a> is the recipe).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Keep in Touch<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To receive unpublished recipes, tips, and food stories, sign up for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tortelliniandco.substack.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Tortellini&amp;CO newsletter<\/b><\/span><\/a>.
