Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Sweet Italian Sausages (1/2 lb total)
1/4 cup chopped White Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 14.5 oz can of Crushed Tomatoes
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
2 cups Farfalle
2 cups Baby Spinach
2 tablespoons Parmesan
1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Steps:

  • Finely chop the onion and garlic. Slice the ends off the sausage, and push the meat out of the casing, and loosely crumble it up.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water has come to a boil, add the pasta. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Then drain the pasta and set aside.
  • As soon as you put the water on the boil, start to prepare the rest of this dish. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and sauté. After 2 minutes, add the sausage and red pepper flakes. For a mild spice add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, or add more for extra spice.
  • Brown the sausage, while using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces.
  • Once the sausage has browned, add the garlic, crushed tomatoes, and cream. Stir together. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the drained pasta to the sauce, along with the spinach (I tear it up as I add it in). Let the pasta and spinach simmer in the sauce for 2 minutes over medium heat. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 bell peppers (any color, seeded and sliced)
2 yellow onions (peeled, halved, and sliced)
14 oz. smoked sausage (such as kielbasa, sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces)
15 oz. canned diced tomatoes
kosher salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (more or less depending on spice preference)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, plus more for serving)
cooked rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, or other grain (for serving (optional))

Steps:

  • Melt butter (1 tablespoon) with olive oil (1 tablespoon) over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  • Add peppers, onions, and sausage, with a pinch of salt. Stir to coat in oil and salt, then sauté for about 20 minutes, stirring only every 5 minutes or so in order to develop good color. It will seem like too much, but don't worry- the vegetables will cook down a lot.
  • Meanwhile, cook up rice/quinoa for serving, if necessary.
  • Once peppers and onions are softened and browned, add the water (1/2 cup) to the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the honey (1 tablespoon), crushed red pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir and turn heat to low. Continue cooking until some of the liquid has evaporated and you are left with a thick sauce.
  • Turn off heat and stir in cilantro (2 tablespoons). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve over cooked rice or other grain or grain substitute, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.

SWEET AND SPICY SAUSAGE RAGU NACHOS WITH PICKLED ONIONS

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 ribs celery, cut into 1-inch dice
2 onions, cut into 1-inch dice
1 small fennel bulb, top and tough middle stalk removed, cut into 1-inch dice
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 cups tomato paste
2 cups hearty red wine
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 bay leaves
1 bunch fresh thyme, tied with butcher's twine
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 to 3 really good shots hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1 red onion, sliced into very thin rings
1 large bag corn tortilla chips
1/2 to 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigianino
1/2 to 3/4 cup grated fontina cheese
1 packed cup arugula, chopped
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (4 ounces)

Steps:

  • For the ragu: Put the garlic, celery, onions and fennel in a food processor and puree to a coarse paste.
  • Coat a wide, deep pan with olive oil. Add the pureed veggies, season with salt and bring to medium-high heat. Cook the veggies until all the liquid has evaporated and they begin to stick to the pan - you want to brown the crap out of these guys until crud starts to form on the bottom of the pan. Stir occasionally to scrape up the brown bits, and then let the crud form again. Be patient here and don't rush it, this is where the big flavor develops; it will take up to 30 minutes.
  • When the lovely brown crud has formed and been scraped down a couple of times, add the tomato paste, stirring to combine. Let it start to brown a little and continue stirring for 2 to 3 minutes. There's not much liquid at this point to keep things from burning, so be careful and move fast. Add the wine, stir to combine and scrape up any remaining brown bits. Cook until about half the wine has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add both the spicy and sweet sausage and, using a spoon to break it up, cook until the meat is brown (this is where another round of big brown flavors is formed, so take your time), 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add enough water to the pan to cover the meat by about 1/2-inch. Stir to combine well, and then add the bay leaves and thyme bundle. Taste, season with salt and taste again; it's by no means done, but it should taste good. Bring the sauce to a boil (BTB) and reduce to a simmer (RTS). Continue cooking, checking occasionally, for 3 hours, tasting, seasoning and adding more water as needed.
  • For the pickled onions: In a medium bowl, combine the red wine vinegar with 1/2 cup cold tap water. Stir in the sugar, salt and hot sauce.
  • Add the sliced onions and let sit for at least 1 hour. To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a large platter, spread out a layer of tortilla chips. Spoon a layer of the ragu over the chips. Cover with a layer of Parmigianino and fontina cheeses. Place in the oven until the cheese melts, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle a layer of arugula over the top and finish with a large dollop of mascarpone cheese. A gooey cheesy treat. Delish.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality Italian sausage for the best flavor. Look for a brand with a good balance of spices and herbs.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the cooked sausage with a knife.
  • Be sure to drain the sausage well before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the rounds from being too greasy.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients. Overmixing can make the rounds tough.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs. If it's too dry, add a little milk or water.
  • Form the rounds into 1-inch balls and then flatten them into patties. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the rounds will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the rounds for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the rounds immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy sausage rounds are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With their combination of sweet and spicy flavors, these rounds are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
