Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 hot Italian sausages
About 24 sage leaves
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
About 1 cup heavy cream
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound fettuccine
Freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring four quarts of water to a boil for the fettuccine. Meanwhile, in a small frying pan, simmer the sausages in water to cover for 10 minutes. Remove them from the pan and allow them to cool.
  • Fry the sage leaves in the olive oil in a skillet until they are crisp. Drain them on paper towels, leaving the oil in the skillet.
  • Chop the sausages in chunks and saute them in the oil until the pieces are browned, adding the garlic toward the end so that it gets golden but not burned. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside. Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine until al dente.
  • Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the cream. Bring it to a boil, scrape up cooking juices and return the sausage to heat through. Correct seasoning.
  • Drain the pasta and put it in a heated serving bowl. Pour the sauce on top. Toss and sprinkle with sage leaves. Serve with Parmesan passed separately at the table.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for high-quality Italian sausage, fresh sage, and creamy heavy cream. These ingredients will ensure the best flavor for your fettuccine dish.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Make sure the sausage is cooked through before adding it to the pasta. This will prevent any potential foodborne illnesses.
  • Fry the sage leaves until crispy: Frying the sage leaves until they are crispy will add a wonderful flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausage: To ensure the sausage cooks evenly, avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook the sausage in batches if necessary.
  • Use a large enough skillet: When cooking the pasta, use a large enough skillet to accommodate the pasta and sauce comfortably. This will prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • Reserve some pasta water: Before draining the pasta, reserve some of the pasta water. This can be added to the sauce to help it come together and create a creamy consistency.
  • Season the dish to taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or Parmesan cheese.

This fettuccine with sausage and fried sage is a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
