ITALIAN SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI



Italian Sausage Spaghetti image

This is my favorite method of making Italian sausage spaghetti. By browning the sausages first and then cooking them in the sauce at a long, slow simmer, the sausage is loaded with flavor and firm, but tender--almost meatball-like in texture. And we hardly need any seasonings because the long cook time allows the sauce to get infused with all the sausage-y goodness!

Provided by Chef John

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6 ounce) sweet Italian sausage links
¼ cup white wine
1 (32 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 ½ cups water
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Transfer sausage links into the hot pot. Cover with a lid and cook until beautifully browned and just barely cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. You can increase the heat a little if you like, but make sure the oil does not smoke. Turn off the heat and remove sausages to a plate to cool completely.
  • While the sausages are cooling, add wine to the same pot over medium-high heat. As it comes up to a simmer, stir the caramelized bits on the bottom of a pan with a spoon or spatula. Simmer until it reduces by about half, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add marinara sauce. Pour water into the jar of pasta sauce, seal, and shake to rinse out the jar. Pour that liquid into the pot and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  • Slice each fully cooled sausage into 4 pieces. Transfer sausage and any accumulated juices into the simmering sauce. Stir and increase heat to just between low and medium-low. Cook at a gentle, steady simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Taste and adjust seasonings. Skim about 1/2 of the fat from the surface, and continue to cook until reduced and thick, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until almost tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain spaghetti and transfer it directly into the pot of hot sauce. Mix until thoroughly combined. Cover with the lid and let sit for 1 minute so the pasta can absorb some of the sauce.
  • Evenly divide pasta onto 4 plates and top each serving with 4 pieces sausage. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Italian Sausage Spaghetti Squash image

Easy gluten-free dinner for the family.

Provided by Allmyhearts

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash     Winter Squash     Spaghetti Squash

Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
1 pound ground Italian sausage
1 small onion, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped
1 small carrot, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
1 ½ cups chicken broth
½ (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place squash, cut sides down, on baking sheet.
  • Bake squash in the preheated oven until it starts to soften, about 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool until easily handled.
  • Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes; remove from skillet. Add onion, celery, and carrot to the skillet; cook and stir in sausage drippings until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir cooked sausage, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, tomato paste, and garlic into the skillet. Simmer sauce until flavors combine, about 15 minutes.
  • Use a fork to scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands. Transfer strands to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spoon sauce over strands and stir to combine. Cover with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven oven until bubbly and golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Italian sausage: Look for sausage made with fresh, flavorful pork and a blend of Italian seasonings. Avoid sausages that are overly processed or contain fillers.
  • Cook the sausage properly: For the best flavor and texture, cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned on all sides and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the sausage from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality spaghetti: Choose a spaghetti that is made with durum wheat semolina and has a firm texture. Avoid spaghetti that is too thin or soft, as it will not hold up well to the sauce.
  • Cook the spaghetti al dente: This means cooking the spaghetti until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked spaghetti will be mushy and unappetizing.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Use a combination of fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, and Italian herbs to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh parsley, basil, or oregano. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
