SWEET AND SPICY SAUSAGE AND FARFALLE
Sweet and Spicy Sausage and Farfalle is a recipe that I grew up eating, and fell in love with again as an adult. It is one of the easiest recipes you can ask for, and the speedy preparation time makes it a perfect weeknight dinner option. When I was growing up I couldn't understand why we had sweet and spicy sausage and farfalle for dinner all the time. As an adult, I get it! This is the little recipe that can feed your family of 4-5 with just 20 minutes to total preparation time. Plus, the ingredients are all super cheap. It makes perfect sense that my Mom made this recipe to feed our family of five frequently.

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.

Steps:
- In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil.
- In a large saute pan over high heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season turkey with salt and pepper. Add turkey and saute breaking any large lumps until golden brown. Remove meat from pan and set aside. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to pan and heat. Add chopped mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the peas and saute for 4 minutes. Return the meat to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- When the pot of water has come to a boil, add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander. Return pasta to the pot and add the meat mixture. Combine thoroughly and gently cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Drizzle in remaining olive oil. If the mixture is dry, do not hesitate to use more olive oil if necessary. Check the seasoning. Turn off the heat and add the grated cheese. Stir well and serve in large bowl.
FARFALLE WITH MUSHROOMS AND ITALIAN SAUSAGE
My husband makes his own Link Italian sausage and when he does I always have him package up a half dozen or so packs of sausage before puts it into the casings. I have several recipes that call for bulk Italian sausage and this is one of the tastiest and easiest to make.

Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and crushed red pepper. Sauté until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is tender and sausage is browned, about 3 minutes longer. Add tomatoes and cream. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sausage mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to same pot. Add sausage mixture and toss over medium-low heat until sauce coats pasta, adding reserved cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture is dry. Transfer pasta to serving dish. Sprinkle with basil. Serve, passing cheese separately.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will make the cooking process much smoother and easier.
- Choose the right pasta: Farfalle, also known as bow-tie pasta, is a great choice for this recipe because it holds the sauce well. However, you can use any type of pasta that you like.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold the sauce as well.
- Sauté the mushrooms and sausage: This will help to develop their flavor and give the dish a more complex flavor profile.
- Use a good quality Italian sausage: The sausage is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it is important to use a good quality sausage that has a lot of flavor.
- Add the sauce to the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked and the sauce is ready, add the sauce to the pasta and stir to coat.
- Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley: This will add a touch of freshness and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This farfalle with mushrooms and Italian sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of the tender pasta, flavorful sauce, and savory sausage is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
