ROTINI WITH SPICY ANDOUILLE SAUCE



Rotini with Spicy Andouille Sauce image

I created this to celebrate my bit of Cajun heritage on Mardi Gras 2004 (many of my father's family lived near Lake Charles, Louisiana)! If you're not into hot and spicy andouille sausage, any smoked sausage can be substituted, but try to use rotini or any other similar pasta (penne, rigatoni or mostaciolli works well, too.)

ROTINI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND THYME



Rotini with Fresh Tomato and Thyme image

This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound dried rotini or other spiral pasta
3 small tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled ricotta salata or feta

Steps:

  • Fill a 4-quart pasta pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for rotini. Coarsely chop tomatoes and mince garlic. In a large bowl toss together tomatoes, garlic, thyme, vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Marinate tomatoes 20 minutes. Cook rotini in boiling water until al dente and drain well in a colander. Add pasta to tomatoes and toss. Serve pasta sprinkled with ricotta salata.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful olive oil, and aromatic herbs will make all the difference in the taste of your sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes, make sure to give them enough space to brown and caramelize. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of sautéing, resulting in a bland sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs to create a sauce that is uniquely yours. Some popular options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: This is the best way to ensure that it is seasoned to your liking. Add more spices or herbs as needed until you are happy with the flavor.

Conclusion:

Rotini with Spicy Tomato Sauce is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The spicy tomato sauce is made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and chili peppers, and it is simmered until it is thick and flavorful. The rotini pasta is cooked al dente and tossed with the sauce, and the dish is finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table, and it is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes from the garden.
