Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup minced onion
1 tablespoons olive oil
3 links sweet Italian sausage, removed from casing
2 cups tomato sauce
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) Le Sueu peas, including liquid
1 1/2 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1 pound elbo or baby shells
Freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan set over moderate heat, cook the onion in the oil, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook it until no longer pink. Drain, then add the tomato sauce, peas and liquid, water, salt, and pepper, and basil. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the macaroni until barely tender, drain, and add to the sauce. Simmer until heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pasta. Short, stubby pastas like penne, rotini, or shells work best with this dish, as they can hold the sauce and peas well.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use good-quality sausage. Italian sausage or breakfast sausage are both good choices.
  • Brown the sausage well. This will help to develop its flavor.
  • Use fresh or frozen peas. Frozen peas should be thawed before using.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the sauce. This will help to brighten the flavor.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Garnish the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
