Cheesy pasta with sausage and roasted red pepper sauce is one quick and delicious meal. Paired with the perfect cheese, it’s a fantastic meal!

This post was sponsored by Rockhill Cheese. All opinions and thoughts expressed are my own. Read more about my affiliate and sponsorship policy here.

I am so excited to tell you guys all about Rockhill Creamery! They sponsored this post, and I am so honored to work with them and create a recipe that features their Wasatch Mountain cheese.

Sautéing onions for cheesy pasta.

First of all, this recipe is so easy and so delicious. It starts off pretty basic by sauteing onions and Italian sausage. It’s up to you whether you use hot or mild, I personally like it hot!

Cooking sausage for cheesy pasta with sausage.

I like to add the onions first so they have more time to cook and soften up. Since this dish goes so quickly if you add them after browning the sausage, they may still be a little crunchy when the pasta is finished.

Adding roasted red peppers to the cheesy pasta with sausage.

Here is the secret to the sauce! I add some tomato sauce AND some roasted red peppers. I absolutely love the flavor of the roasted red peppers with the Wasatch Mountain cheese. There are a few flavors going on, but they all compliment each other so well.

Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, this lets all the flavors come together and allows it to thicken a bit. When I say sauce, it’s pretty thick. Kind of like a ragu style sauce.

Next, the best part!! Adding the delicious and amazing Rockhill Wasatch Mountain cheese. I love this cheese, actually I love all Rockhill cheese.

Rockhill is a micro-dairy just on the other side of the small valley where I live. I have known a handful of people who have worked there, toured the dairy itself and even attended a wedding there. When you think of a small dairy in the mountains, Rockhill fits that magical description! Old barns, rooms of cheese, and the cutest little herd of Brown Swiss cows you ever did see. I love visiting there!

They sell a wide range of cheese, but I loved the way this Wasatch Mountain paired with the sausage and roasted red pepper. The reserve has a stronger flavor because it’s aged longer, but both varieties will work beautifully.

You know the best part about Rockhill cheese? It melts so perfectly. It totally melts into the pasta and coats the pasta and sausage so you get all the flavors in every bite. The next best part? You can order some! I’ll link up to their website here. If you love specialty cheeses, Rockhill will totally be your jam.

Tell me: What would you make with some Rockhill cheese?? It’s a struggle to keep it in my fridge long enough to actually cook with it, it’s just so dang good!
