			Directions:
			Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Mix red pepper, onion, and garlic with olive oil in a 9 x 13- inch baking dish and roast in oven for 25 minutes; stirring occasionally.
While vegetables roast, remove casing from bratwurst, crumble and brown in a skillet over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Remove bratwurst and drain on a paper towel; pour fat from skillet. 
Add bratwurst and beer to skillet and simmer.
Remove roasted vegetables from oven and immediately add bratwurst and beer.  Add basil, pasta, 1 cup of cheese and toss to mix thoroughly. If mixture seems too dry, add some of the reserved pasta water to moisten. 
Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and serve.
