Italian Sausage And Spinach Alfredo Recipes

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot filled with salted water. Bring pasta to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes or until pasta is done. Drain and pour back into pot.
• While the pasta is cooking, add the andouille sausage to a skillet with a little olive oil and cook over medium heat until browned and heated throughout. I cook mine for about 5-7 minutes.
• Remove andouille sausage from pan and set aside. Once cool enough to handle, cut the andouille sausage into coins.
• For the Alfredo sauce, add the butter and heavy cream to a sauce pan or skillet. Add in the paprika, pepper and garlic. Whisk together. Heat over medium to high heat until hot.
• Add grated Parmesan and whisk until melted. Raise the heat until the sauce starts to boil and then turn the heat off. Whisk well. Sauce should thicken as the cheese melts but won't be super thick.
• Add in the spinach and stir. Spinach will wilt due to the heat of the sauce.
• Add the sausage to the drained pasta.
• Once the spinach is wilted, pour the alfredo sauce into the pasta and toss to coat.
• Serve

• In a bowl, mix the Cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
• In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer 1/3 of the sausage mixture, 1/3 of the noodles, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice, and top with mozzarella cheese.

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH ALFREDO

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add sausages and red-pepper flakes and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8 minutes. Add reserved macaroni and cheese to skillet, gently stirring to combine. Stir in heavy cream and spinach, and cook until spinach begins to wilt, 4 minutes. To serve, sprinkle with Parmesan.

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH FETTUCCINE ALFREDO RECIPE

Steps:

• Add sausage to a wide skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon until crispy; about 10 minutes. (While the sausage cooks, move on to cooking the pasta.)
• Meanwhile, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add one tablespoon of salt and the fettuccine. Cook, stirring once or twice, for 3 minutes less than the suggested cooking time on the package. The pasta will finish cooking when making the sauce. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water then drain pasta.
• Add parmesan cheese, butter, spinach, 1 cup of reserved cooking water, and the drained pasta to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Set the skillet over low heat. Use tongs to toss the fettuccine, butter, and cheese around the pan for one minute. Take the pan off of the heat then cover the skillet with a lid. Leave for one minute.
• Uncover the skillet, toss the pasta a few more times in the sauce. If the pasta looks dry, add a splash more pasta water. If it looks wet, don't worry, the pasta absorbs some the extra moisture as it cools.
• Serve fettuccine with a few grinds of pepper and a sprinkle of extra parmesan cheese on top.

FETTUCCINI ALFREDO WITH SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cook fettuccine per package directions al dente.
• While the fettuccine cooks, heat a large skillet and add the oil. Heat the oil until it shimmers and fry the sage leaves (it only takes a few seconds), in batches, until all are fried. Leave the oil in the skillet and transfer the bay leaves to paper towels to dry.
• Separate the sausage into bite-size chunks and sauté them in the oil just until cooked through (don't overcook or sear). Add the minced garlic and cook 15-30 seconds or until the garlic softens and blooms. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
• Pour off the fat from the skillet while trying to preserve as much garlic as possible. Add the cream and bring it to a low boil while scraping the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat and return the sausage to the skillet, and season with salt & pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat.
• Drain the pasta and place it on a large serving platter or bowl. Pour the sauce over the pasta, toss gently and sprinkle on the fried sage leaves.
• Garnish with grated Parmigiana.
• Enjoy!
