SAUSAGE AND EGGPLANT FUSILLI

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
1 pound fusilli or cannolicchi pasta
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/3-inch dice
1/4 cup olive oil
12 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 shallot, diced
1 clove garlic, smashed
One 14-ounce can cherry tomatoes, such as Mutti
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup grated smoked provolone

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for about 8 minutes, or 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, toss the eggplant with 1 tablespoon salt in a colander; allow to sit for 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water, then squeeze out the excess moisture. Dry well on a paper towel-lined tray.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large straight-sided pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Push the sausage off to one side, add the eggplant and cook without stirring for about 3 minutes. Stir together the eggplant and sausage and continue to cook, stirring often, until the eggplant is soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shallots and garlic; cook for another 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the reserved pasta water, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the tomatoes and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and simmer for about 8 minutes, stirring often and breaking up the tomatoes.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce and sprinkle the Parmesan and provolone on the bare pasta. Using two wooden spoons, toss to combine until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta.

Fusilli with Sausage, Artichokes, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 38m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, sliced, 2 tablespoons of oil reserved
1 pound Italian hot sausages, casings removed
2 (8-ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
16 ounces fusilli pasta
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, plus additional for garnish
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
8 ounces water-packed fresh mozzarella, drained and cubed, optional
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil reserved from the tomatoes in a heavy large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown, breaking up the meat into bite-size pieces with a fork, about 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl. Add the artichokes and garlic to the same skillet, and saute over medium heat until the garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, wine, and sun-dried tomatoes. Boil over medium-high heat until the sauce reduces slightly, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fusilli in boiling water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta (do not rinse). Add the pasta, sausage, 1/2 cup Parmesan, basil, and parsley to the artichoke mixture. Toss until the sauce is almost absorbed by the pasta. Stir in the mozzarella. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve, passing the additional Parmesan cheese alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Italian sausage: Look for sausage made with fresh, flavorful pork and a blend of Italian spices. Avoid sausages that are overly processed or contain fillers.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Italian sausage should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include zucchini, carrots, and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or oregano add a pop of flavor and color to the dish. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

This Italian sausage with fusilli is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover sausage, and it's also a great dish for entertaining. Serve it with a side of garlic bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
