Time 35m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

olive oil
1 lb Italian chicken sausage
1 large onion, quartered and sliced thinly
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 orange bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press
1/2 cup white wine (I used Chardonnay)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, julienned, divided use
1/2 lb pappardelle pasta

Steps:

  • -Place a large, heavy-bottom pan or braising pot over medium-high heat; add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and once the oil is hot, crumble the spicy Italian sausage into the pan in small chunks (you want to keep the sausage fairly chunky), allowing it to brown in the oil for a few moments on each side; once the crumbled sausage is browned, remove it from the pan/pot with a slotted spoon and place into a small bowl to hold for a moment; next, add the sliced onion into the pan with the sausage drippings, and allow it to caramelize and become golden for roughly 5 minutes or so, stirring to keep it from burning (add a touch more olive oil, if necessary); once the onion starts to become golden, add the salt, Italian seasoning and cracked black pepper, and stir to combine, then add in the sliced bell peppers, and allow those to saute with the onion for about 2 minutes until slightly tender and golden; next, add in the garlic, and once it becomes aromatic, add in the white wine and allow it to reduce for a few moments, until almost completely reduced; next, add in the diced tomatoes with their juice, and return the browned spicy Italian sausage back into the pan, and gently fold the mixture to combine; allow it to gently simmer for about 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors, then turn the heat off; to finish the sauce, drizzle in about 2-3 good tablespoons of the olive oil to create a silky, rich flavor, and add in the chopped parsley and about half of the julienned basil; stir, and keep warm while you prepare the noodles.
  • -Prepare the pappardelle noodles according to instructions on package; then, drain the noodles very well, and add them directly into the sauce, using tongs to gently toss and combine the pappardelle noodles with the sauce and all of the ingredients in it; check the seasoning to see if you need to add any additional salt or pepper.
  • -To serve, add equal portions of the "Drunken" noodles to bowls, and garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining julienned basil; you can even top with shaved Parmesan, if desired, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful sauce, and quality noodles make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the noodles in batches if necessary to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: This means they should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Don't rinse the noodles after cooking: This will remove the starch that helps the sauce cling to the noodles.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the noodles and vegetables.
  • Cook the vegetables over high heat: This will help them retain their color and crunch.
  • Add the sauce gradually: This will help prevent the noodles from becoming too soggy.
  • Serve immediately: Drunken noodles are best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Drunken noodles are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
