SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PENNE PASTA



Sweet Italian Sausage With Penne Pasta image

We are Italian and if you go through my recipes you'll find alot of wonderful, quick and easy pasta dishes. We love our pasta and we love garlic, too! Serve this with garlic Texas toast. I can't eat pasta much anymore because I'm diabetic but my husband and daughter love it so I keep making it for them. I usually eat salmon (I have one or two good ones for salmon, too- check them out).

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb penne pasta
1 lb broccoli floret (I use frozen)
8 ounces Italian sausage, cut in bite-size chunks (sweet & mild)

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano cheese

Steps:

  • Boil the water and cook the penne according to package directions. DO NOT ever add oil to the water! It will make your sauce slide off the pasta later.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil (medium-high heat) in a large skillet and saute the broccoli, sausage and garlic until tender and starting to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Toss the butter, hot pasta, sausage mixture and romano cheese together and serve. Pass the grated cheese at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For this recipe, sweet Italian sausage is the best choice. It has a mild, sweet flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Brown the sausage properly: Browning the sausage gives it a nice caramelized flavor. Be sure to cook it over medium heat until it is browned on all sides.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a pasta that is made with high-quality ingredients and that has a good shape for holding the 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.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Use a sauce that is made with fresh ingredients and that has a good balance of flavors.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. They are a great way to finish it off.
