ITALIAN SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI



Italian Sausage Spaghetti image

This is my favorite method of making Italian sausage spaghetti. By browning the sausages first and then cooking them in the sauce at a long, slow simmer, the sausage is loaded with flavor and firm, but tender--almost meatball-like in texture. And we hardly need any seasonings because the long cook time allows the sauce to get infused with all the sausage-y goodness!

Provided by Chef John

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6 ounce) sweet Italian sausage links
¼ cup white wine
1 (32 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 ½ cups water
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Transfer sausage links into the hot pot. Cover with a lid and cook until beautifully browned and just barely cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. You can increase the heat a little if you like, but make sure the oil does not smoke. Turn off the heat and remove sausages to a plate to cool completely.
  • While the sausages are cooling, add wine to the same pot over medium-high heat. As it comes up to a simmer, stir the caramelized bits on the bottom of a pan with a spoon or spatula. Simmer until it reduces by about half, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add marinara sauce. Pour water into the jar of pasta sauce, seal, and shake to rinse out the jar. Pour that liquid into the pot and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  • Slice each fully cooled sausage into 4 pieces. Transfer sausage and any accumulated juices into the simmering sauce. Stir and increase heat to just between low and medium-low. Cook at a gentle, steady simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Taste and adjust seasonings. Skim about 1/2 of the fat from the surface, and continue to cook until reduced and thick, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until almost tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain spaghetti and transfer it directly into the pot of hot sauce. Mix until thoroughly combined. Cover with the lid and let sit for 1 minute so the pasta can absorb some of the sauce.
  • Evenly divide pasta onto 4 plates and top each serving with 4 pieces sausage. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley.

1 cup diced onions
1 cup diced red bell pepper (about 1 large)

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose high-quality Italian sausage, ripe tomatoes, and a flavorful blend of herbs and spices.
  • Brown the sausage well: Browning the sausage adds flavor and helps to render out the fat. Be sure to cook the sausage over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides.
  • Use a flavorful tomato sauce: The tomato sauce is the base of the dish, so it's important to choose one that is flavorful and well-seasoned. You can use a store-bought tomato sauce, or make your own using fresh tomatoes, garlic, onion, and herbs.
  • Cook the spaghetti al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. Spaghetti should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Serve immediately: Spaghetti with Italian sausage is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and lose its flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with Italian sausage is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try.
