1 pound Italian pork sausage, casings removed
One 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes
2 cups macaroni noodles
1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
3/4 cup peas, fresh or frozen
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, noodles and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the peas (if they're frozen, they'll thaw pretty much immediately when stirred in). Season with salt and pepper. Top with cheese and herbs, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use mild or hot sausage, depending on your preference. If you're using a spicy sausage, be sure to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes you add to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: The pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and the dish will be less flavorful.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your Italian hotdish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Season the dish well: Italian hotdish is a flavorful dish, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
  • Let the dish sit before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dish to thicken slightly. You can serve the dish immediately, but it will be even better if you let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Italian hotdish is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious Italian hotdish that your family and friends will love.
