PASTA WITH WHITE SAUSAGE SAUCE



Pasta With White Sausage Sauce image

Pasta and sausage are a combination that usually suggests a dense, heavy tomato sauce. But it can also mean the very opposite. Sausage, used in small amounts, can contribute to a relatively light, almost delicate pasta sauce. In fact, sausage is a gift to the minimalist cook: it comes already seasoned, and its seasoning can be used to flavor whatever goes with it. The technique is simple. It's easiest to start with bulk sausage, or patties, because then there's no need to remove the meat from a casing. (Though that is easy to do: Just slit the casing with a sharp knife and peel it off.) You crumble the sausage into a little melted butter, which adds smoothness to the final sauce (omit it if you prefer), add water or other liquid and finish with grated Parmesan.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, pastas, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage (if using link sausage, remove it from the casing)
1/2 cup water, white wine or red wine
1/2 pound cut pasta like ziti
1/2 cup or more freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
  • Put the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. As it melts, crumble the sausage meat into it, making the bits quite small, 1/2 inch or less. Add the liquid, and adjust the heat so that the mixture simmers gently.
  • Cook the pasta until it is tender but not at all mushy. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • Drain the pasta, and dress with the sauce, adding a little of the reserved cooking liquid if necessary. Toss with salt, pepper and Parmesan, and serve.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS PASTA BAKE



Sausage and Peppers Pasta Bake image

Sausage and peppers is a dish that takes me down memory lane: my mom and I make it every year in a big batch for family reunions. One year when we had leftovers, I realized that adding the slow-cooked sweet peppers and onions to tomato sauce gave it so much great flavor and a natural sweetness - no sugar needed. That, combined with my constant need to get ahead on meal prep, led me to develop this recipe. By assembling the dish the day before, you can avoid having to boil the pasta and instead let it sit in the sauce overnight to soften and absorb all that flavor. In the end, you'll have a delicious pasta bake ready to pop into the oven when you're ready for dinner. Plus, you can make a big batch of the tomato sauce to freeze along with any leftovers, making it truly the dish that keeps on giving.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, a mix of sweet and spicy, casings removed
2 red bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 yellow bell peppers, seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1/2 medium or 1 small yellow onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons tomato paste
One 28-ounce can tomato puree
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 sprig fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1 pound rigatoni
1 cup ricotta
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a 4 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat until hot, about 1 minute. Break up the sausage into small pieces, add to the Dutch oven and cook, without stirring, until the sausage is caramelized on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Begin to break up the sausage into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon and continue to cook, stirring often, until caramelized all over, cooked through and broken into 1/2-inch pieces, another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and set aside.
  • If the Dutch oven is dry, add 1 tablespoon oil if needed and immediately stir in the peppers and onions. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are very soft, about 10 minutes; the vegetables should not take on much color besides what comes from scraping the bottom of the pot to coat them in the sausage flavor.
  • Stir in the garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook until the garlic just begins to toast and become fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste coats the vegetables, toasts slightly and becomes a darker shade of red, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, basil and 4 cups water. Stir the sauce together and season with additional salt to taste; make sure the sauce is well seasoned since it will season the pasta as well.
  • Stir in the rigatoni and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes. As soon as you see the first few bubbles, simmer for 1 more minute, then remove from the heat. Stir in the reserved sausage. Carefully ladle the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Discard the basil. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight, at least 8 hours. The pasta will soften as it sits in the sauce.
  • When ready to bake, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and uncover. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Dollop the ricotta in 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds over the top of the dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until bubbling around the edges and the ricotta begins to brown on top, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then garnish with basil leaves and more Parmesan.
