I love the pineapple brats from my local grocery store's butcher, but I wanted to try something different with them than just grilling and slapping on a bun. This recipe was born.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pre-cook the brats: Place brats and chicken broth in a large, deep sided saute pan over medium high heat. Cover and gently simmer for 10 minutes, turning once. Transfer brats to plate to cool slightly. Drain chicken broth from pan, reserving for later.
- 2
While brats cook, mix all ingredients for the spice mix together in a small bowl until well combined (set aside), and prep your veggies. You can also begin the pasta now (or while sauce is simmering). Just prepare to package directions, Drain and set aside.

Once emptied, return pan to burner over medium heat. Add 2 tbs butter and 1 tsp oil. When butter is melted add peppers and onions. Saute until onions just begin to soften slightly, stirring frequently. About 5 minutes.
- 4
While veggies cook, slice brats into 1/4"-1/2" slices. Add brat slices to veggies and continue cooking until browned slightly, only stirring or tossing occasionally. About another 5-7 minutes more.
- 5
Add 1/2 cup reserved chicken broth and all of pineapple juice to pan. Add spice mix and stir to combine. Turn heat up to medium high, vigorously simmer uncovered until sauce has reduced by almost half. Should be about another 10-15 minutes.
- 6
When sauce has reduced, turn heat down to medium low and stir in sweet Thai chili sauce until combined. You want the sauce to have a little body/thickness to it.

Turn off heat, taste sauce for seasoning and adjust as desired, I added an extra pinch of salt. Add prepared penne to sauce, stir or toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, top with fresh grated parmesan if desired and enjoy!

NOTE1: My hubby likes his cooked pepper & onions to be very soft, so I cooked them the entire time. If you want yours to be a little firmer, remove from pan while you brown up the brats and return when you add the liquids.

NOTE2: You may also save any remaining chicken broth for a future recipe if desired, it has taken on the flavor of the brats while cooking.
- 11
NOTE3: pineapple brats are a slightly sweetened, spiced brat with pineapple notes made by the butcher at our local grocer.
- 12
Note4: If the sauce seems too thin you may thicken slightly with a slurry of 2 tsp cornstarch & 3 tsp cold water wisked together, stir into sauce and simmer just until it begins to thicken (I did this with mine to ensure the sauce really clung to the pasta).

Basic Penne Arrabbiata Basic Penne Arrabbiata
This penne arrabbiata is a very common family meal in Italy. This is a very basic recipe. It is very tasty and easy to cook as it is, so try it out.Cook finely chopped garlic until golden brown, and add whole tomatoes at the very best moment. This stops cooking garlic immediately. It is better to cook garlic until golden brown to extract nice aroma. Adjust the amount of red pepper to suit your taste. Recipe by valentino -

Penne with Spring Vegetables Penne with Spring Vegetables
I came up with this recipe when spring vegetables came into season! You can use any spring vegetables that you like. I personally recommend green peas, fava beans, asparagus, and nanohana! Also, it helps to prepare the red chili garlic oil beforehand.Note in step 3, drain the pasta and the shrimp in separate sieves. It's easier if you use a smaller sieve to cook the shrimp, but you could also drain the ingredients in order of doneness. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -

Today as I was going through the pantry I found a bag of crispy red peppers. I think I bought them for salads but they crumb up rather smoothly and lend a mild flavor. This recipe is very similar to by chicken Scampi the macros are better. The calorie count came in higher than I like but the protein for calorie ratio was dead on.
