Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces uncooked Shell Pasta ((or other small pasta))
1 TBS Olive Oil
1 small Yellow Onion (- finely chopped (about 1 ¾ cup))
1 small Red Bell Pepper (- finely chopped (about 1 cup))
1 pound Ground Italian Sausage (- sweet, mild or hot (SEE NOTES))
2 cloves Garlic (- minced)
1 ¼ tsp Italian Seasoning
1 TBS All-Purpose Flour
1/3 cup EACH: White Wine & Low-Sodium Chicken Broth ((or 2/3 cup of broth only))
2 Cups Heavy Cream
½ Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese (- plus more for garnish)
Kosher Salt & Ground Black Pepper (- to taste)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to al dente package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
  • While pasta cooks, sauté vegetables: In a large, deep skillet heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are almost softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add sausage and season: Increase heat to medium-high. Add the sausage to the pan along with the Italian seasoning. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, breaking the sausage up into large crumbles as you go, for about 4-6 minutes, or until sausage is almost browned. Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add flour and deglaze: Sprinkle the flour over sausage and stir well. Cook 1-2 minute to remove raw flour taste. Add the wine (or 1/3 cup broth) to deglaze the pan. Stir well, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.
  • Add liquids and simmer: Stir in the broth and then add the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, then immediately reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
  • Add pasta: Stir in the cooked pasta. Cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Add parmesan: Turn off the heat and gradually stir in parmesan cheese, one handful at a time. Stir until cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
  • Serve: Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and top with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon. Serve and enjoy!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
12 oz. Italian sausage (about 3 links), casings removed
1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan, divided
1/2 large butternut squash (about 1 lb.), peeled, seeded, chopped into 1/2" pieces
1/2 lb. fusilli
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 sprig sage
2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium heavy pot over medium-high. Cook sausage, breaking up into about 1" pieces with a wooden spoon, until well browned, 5-7 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until evenly distributed, about 1 minute.
  • Combine milk, cream, and 2 cups water in a large bowl or glass measuring cup. Stirring sausage mixture constantly, slowly stream in milk mixture; bring to a simmer. Add 1 1/4 cups Parmesan and cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted. Add squash, pasta, garlic, sage, salt, and nutmeg and toss to combine, making sure pasta is covered with liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and bring to a bare simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, squash is beginning to break down, and sauce is reduced and glossy, about 20 minutes.
  • Pluck out and discard sage. Transfer pasta to a platter. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and a few cranks of pepper.

1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
Pinch red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One 28-ounce can tomato puree

ONE-POT CREAMY SHELLS AND SAUSAGE



One-Pot Creamy Shells and Sausage image

Just like your favorite boxed shells and cheese, this recipe turns out a dinner that's creamy, irresistible and made in a single pot. But unlike the boxed version, this upgrade will fill up the whole family-thanks to the addition of hearty Italian sausage and Muir Glen™ tomato basil pasta sauce. Cooking the whole meal in a single pot isn't just convenient, it also allows you to build flavor as you go. Here's what we mean: It all starts with browning the sausage until it's cooked through. Removing the sausage but not the rendered fat it leaves behind adds deep savory flavor to the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes that get sautéed next. After your aromatics, you'll add the tomato sauce, which is handy since it'll help deglaze the pan and integrate more flavor into your sauce. With the addition of the broth, you'll have enough liquid to cook your pasta. Once the pasta is cooked through, all that's left is adding the cream and cooked sausage. Serve this up with shredded Parmesan and basil, and you've got a delectable dinner that might just become a part of your regular rotation.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use a good quality Italian sausage. Look for one that is made with pork shoulder or thigh, and has a nice balance of spices. - If you don't have butternut squash on hand, you can substitute another type of winter squash, such as acorn squash or kabocha squash. You can also use frozen squash, just be sure to thaw it completely before using. - To make the dish vegetarian, you can omit the sausage and add an extra cup of vegetables, such as chopped zucchini or bell pepper. - If you like a little heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. - Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This one-pot pasta dish is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is packed with flavor and nutrition, thanks to the sausage, squash, and spinach. Plus, it is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. So next time you are looking for a simple and delicious pasta recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
