2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed, then discarded

3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup dry white wine

1 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup) plus additional for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add sausage meat and cook, stirring to break up large chunks, until meat is browned and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add sauce and cheese to pasta and toss to coat. Add cooking water if necessary to moisten. Season pasta with salt and pepper and serve with additional cheese.

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE IN CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE



Penne With Sausage in Creamy Tomato Sauce image

This is an easy recipe with tons of flavor, rigatoni pasta can be used in place of penne. If you are using spicy sausages then omit the chili flakes. Try to use only high-quality canned tomato products, it will really make a huge difference in your sauce, no no-name brands for this! With this sauce (and any tomato-based sauce) it needs some time to cook, the longer you cook the sauce uncovered the thicker and richer it will be, you can even start it in the morning turn it off then continue cooking later, cook for even 2 hours!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will be. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, sweet Italian sausage, and a flavorful pasta sauce.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Sauté the sausage before adding it to the sauce: This will help to brown the sausage and release its flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste until the dish is flavorful but not overpowering.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh basil or parsley adds a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Penne with sausage and tomatoes 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.
