Whole Wheat Linguini with Sausage and Roasted Peppers

If only you could taste how good this dish is! But since you can’t, you’re going to have to take my word for it. It’s everything I love in a meal and it’s super quick to make. I love using spicy chicken sausage to give it a little kick, but if you want to make this mild for your family, simply swap it for sweet Italian.

I don’t know about you, but for years I tried to like whole wheat pasta and never found a brand that my family would eat. Then last year I discovered DeLallo organic whole wheat pasta and it changed my life. My Italian husband who is pretty picky about his pasta also loves it, and now it’s the only brand of whole wheat I will ever use. Their gluten-free pasta is also AMAZING so if you can’t eat gluten, you can easily swap it out.

A few weeks ago, a few bloggers including myself got a chance to visit the Delallo Italian Marketplace in Jeanette, PA which was established back in 1954 as a small market and has grown into a large marketplace complete with the largest antipasti bar I’ve ever seen!

The DeLallo family visits Italy and works closely with the BEST of the best which allows them to import the highest quality pasta, tomatoes, olive oil, etc. If you are ever in that area, you must stop and visit – I was in DeLallo heaven!! Luckily, many of their products can be found in supermarkets across the country and you can also order their products online.

  1. Had a mild Primo Italian chicken sausage and had right amount of Marinara sauce left over from another recipe that needed to be used so thought this recipe would be a good place to use it. Used Campnelle pasta that turned out to be really nice with this-used 6 ounces. Husband thought this is a favorite!

  2. Unbelievably delicious! I did use Italian turkey sausage since that was what I could find. I also had been gifted some Trofie pasta that I was looking for a special recipe to use on so tried this. It was to die for!

  3. Hi Gina, I was going to make this tonight but when I saw the WW Purple 9 pts was hesitant to take that big of a point hit. I ran your ingredients through the WW recipe builder exactly as listed above, and it came back with 3 pts. I did it a second time to make sure I didn’t make a mistake, and again it came out to 3 points.
    This was a big enough points discrepancy that I wanted to let you know. This dish is SO GOOD, for 3 points, it is a no brainer!

    1. i did the same and came back as 3 points too! so glad i came to the comments to see if others did as well.

      1. I doubled checked as well and have updated purple points. It may vary depending on which pasta is used. 🙂

  4. After reviewing the recipe I thought maybe a little too much Roasted peppers but boy was I wrong – It really takes the pasta sauce to another level – This dish is delish!

  5. This is one of my favorite pasta dishes! It’s my go-to in the Fall/Winter because of its heat and comfort-food quality. I can’t always find chicken sausage, so I buy hot Italian turkey sausage and slice it thin after cooking and then I toss it into the pan.

    So yummy and filling and EASY! My husband and I love it, so we make it again and again.

  6. We going to try this in the IP. Making it similar to your one pot spaghetti recipe. I’ll be adding extra liquid of course. Hope the one pot works.

  7. This was SO good. My boyfriend and I both loved it! Had a little bit more than a serving and was nice and full!

  14. Oh my god, It looks so yummy. Your spicy whole wheat Linguini is great. and we need to eat food which contain free-gluten, it is better for our health. Thanks for the recepie and the DeLallo organic whole wheat pasta you has introduced.

  16. My family and I used to visit every time we were seeing our grandparents in Greensburg and Ligonier. Now that I'm in Minnesota it makes me sad I can't go there, but so happy I find their items on the shelves of our grocery stores.
    Thank you!

  18. This is the post for me! There are only two things that I can not stand the whole grain version of…tortillas and pasta. I always feel so weird grabbing the white versions, but I just can't do it! I am going to keep my eye out for the brand!

    WOW! Looks delicious. Which brand do you recommend if I am unable to find them at the grocery store?

  20. They look so pretty! These are actually a very popular street food where I live! Need to try your version! And it’s summer all year long here (super hot)!

  21. it is quite easy to prepare a delicious meal, and easily available raw materials, certain I will be making this dish. Love this recipe! Thanks 🙂

    Great recipe! I added fresh mushrooms and shredded zucchini, used a generous splash of white cooking wine instead of chicken broth, and added only a cup of crushed tomatoes and that was plenty of liquid. Maybe cause I used regular linguine? Will definitely make again!

  23. The first time I made this I substituted drained diced tomatoes and a tablespoon of tomato paste for the crushed tomatoes. Having now made it with the crushed, I actually prefer the diced and found it reheated better, without any stickiness.

    Gina, your recipes are a treasure. Many thanks!

  24. We had this last week and it was a huge success (no surprise – all the recipes we have tried from you have been fantastic)! My husband is super resistant to eating whole wheat pasta but he said it tasted awesome with this recipe. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!

  25. I made this recipe for dinner last night, and the family was thrilled with the taste and the look of the food! I made a double recipe so that there would be leftovers, and I used one package of hot Italian and one package of sweet Italian sausage. It was delicious! Now it's posted on Facebook, and my mother and daughters had to have the name of your website! We are eating healthier now, and have enjoyed all of the recipes I've tried from skinnytaste! You have gotten me excited about cooking again! Thanks so much, and keep the great recipes coming!

  26. I LOVE Delallos! The pasta of course looks wonderful as do all your recipes, but what made me comment today is the visit to Delallos in Jeanette. As I was growing up in North Dakota, no visit to my grandparents in Pennsylvannia was complete without a visit to Delallos. And now that I'm in Texas, I still make my pilgramage to Jeanette whenever I can and am so happy I can find their great products in my local HEB. Thanks again for bringing back the memories.

  27. Making this for dinner tonight, can't wait!! As always, thank you Gina. I picked up your cookbook and have tried a few new recipes, all have been wonderful!

  28. I literally never cook but am going to try this tonight. Can someone please tell me if I can use just roasted red peppers or do they need to be the ones in the jar? And do I drain it first or pour the whole jar into the mixture?
    Also, what kind of onions is it calling for? Red? Purple? Green?

    Please help!!! Thanks 🙂

    1. I used white onions, and I drained the water out of the jar before dicing up the peppers. Turned out so good, we ate the whole batch! 🙂

  29. My son and I made this for dinner tonight…Awesome….and very easy. Made extra so there are leftovers for tomorrow….YIPPY……

    TOTAL SKINNYTASTE HOUSEHOLD and BIG promoters!

  31. I made this tonight. I used Turkey Italian Sausage. First time trying this pasta; it was awesome! The entire dish was amazing!!

  32. What brand of chicken sausage do you use? I only ask because I don't think that my grocery store carries hot chicken sausage and I've been looking for a different brand than the store brand. Thanks 🙂

    I have to thank you, my yoga class was going on and on about this site and we decided to try a bunch of your recipes. We either had our members cook the night before and bring in a crockpot or prepared them in class, and we had a big lawn party with absolutely delicious food. From all the folks in our yoga class, a BIG THANK YOU for providing us with wholesome feel good food.

  35. Gina, where do you get Delallo on Long Island? I live in NYC and haven't seen it here yet. LOVE your cookbook! It's my "coffee table" book!

    1. found this in the Delallo website

      Q. Where can I buy your products?

      A. Call us at 1-877-DELALLO and we will help locate a grocery chain nearest you*, but don't forget you can order from our online store 24 hours a day.

  36. I LOVE Delallo's – my family and I used to visit every time we were seeing our grandparents in Greensburg and Ligonier. Now that I'm in Minnesota it makes me sad I can't go there, but so happy I find their items on the shelves of our grocery stores.

  37. Made this tonight for dinner. Couldn't find the hot sausage so I used just the Italian Chicken Sausage. My husband is so picky and really hates peppers….I cut them up small so they blended into the sauce. He had no idea, ate every bite, went back for seconds, and then told me he liked it better then his grandmas….even with the Gluten free pasta! This is a keeper!

    1. If you have a Sprouts store in your area they sell chicken sausage by the link. They have non spicy and spicy. So good!

  38. I am going to try this with spaghetti squash instead of regular pasta for an even healthier dish. Thanks for the inspiration.

  39. Yummm! I love the Gluten Free Pasta from DeLallo and love that I can get it at Wal-Mart! It tastes and cooks just like regular pasta and comes in different shapes! I just got the cookbook and have been using it everynight- love it!
