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.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PASTA CASSEROLE



Italian Sausage and Pasta Casserole image

This is a super-easy, super-quick casserole dish that I came up with last week. I used Italian turkey sausage that my husband had grilled while we were barbecuing the day before. I also used wheat rotini pasta, but I think any kind of pasta would work. The rest of the quantities are just estimates ... you could use more or less depending on your tastes. I used whole cumin, fennel, thyme, and rosemary and lightly ground them with a pestle, but you could also use pre-ground. My husband, who is not usually a casserole lover, has been raving about this ever since, and my daughter, who usually hates zucchini, cleaned her plate without even a mention of it.

SPAGHETTI SAUCE WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE



Spaghetti Sauce With Italian Sausage image

I've had this recipe for years. It's the best spaghetti sauce I've found. The key is the Burgundy wine and a good Italian sausage.

Provided by DebiMcG

Categories     Sauces

Time 3h30m

Yield 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 lbs good quality sweet Italian sausage
4 cups chopped yellow onions
1 cup chopped parsley
3 cups chopped bell peppers (mix red & green)
1 1/2 lbs sliced mushrooms
8 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 tablespoon turkish oregano
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet marjoram
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
4 (1 lb) cans tomatoes, cut up
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
3 cups Burgundy wine

Steps:

  • Start browning Italian sausage in large (11 quart) stockpot, breaking it up as it cooks.
  • When still slightly pink, add onions, parsley, peppers, mushrooms & garlic. Cook until sausage is done. Add spices, mix and cook another couple minutes, then add tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste & Burgundy wine.
  • Bring to just boiling, reduce heat. Cover and let simmer a minimum of 3 hours - longer is better. Stir occasionally.
  • Serve over your favorite pasta.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Sausage: Select high-quality Italian sausage with a flavor profile that complements your preferences. Spicy, sweet, or mild varieties are available.
  • Brown the Sausage Properly: Cook the sausage over medium heat until it's evenly browned and crisp. This adds depth of flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Enhance the flavor of your dish by sautéing vegetables like onions, peppers, and garlic before adding the sausage. This aromatic base will elevate the overall taste.
  • Use High-Quality Pasta: Opt for a high-quality spaghetti or other pasta variety made from durum wheat. This ensures the pasta holds its shape well and doesn't become mushy.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but aim for an al dente texture. This means the pasta should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Reserve Pasta Water: Don't discard the pasta water after cooking. Reserve about a cup of it to add to the sauce. This starchy water helps emulsify the sauce and create a creamy texture.
  • Simmer the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer gently for a few minutes to let the flavors meld and deepen. This step enhances the overall complexity of the dish.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, sprinkle some fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or parsley over the pasta. This adds a vibrant touch of color and enhances the aroma.

Conclusion:

Creating a delicious Italian sausage with spaghetti dish is a culinary journey that combines bold flavors, aromatic ingredients, and the satisfaction of a comforting meal. By following these tips and embracing the art of Italian cooking, you'll be able to impress your family and friends with a dish that captures the essence of Italian cuisine.
