Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
1/2 pound hot Italian sausage, available in bulk at butcher counter or, 2 links, casings removed
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, available in bulk at butcher counter or, 4 links, casings removed
3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped, optional
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

Steps:

  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Add sausage meat. Crumble sausage meat as it browns. Add chopped garlic to the pan. When all of the crumbles have browned evenly, deglaze the pan drippings using chicken or vegetable broth.

PEASANT PASTA ( FIT FOR A KING)



Peasant Pasta ( Fit for a King) image

This simple pasta dish is very cheap to make, Just a few ingredients and a good olive oil turn this into a meal to relish. I cook the bones from a chicken carcass to make a stock, chicken stock cubes work well if you don't want to make your own stock. Pasta shells are prefered in this dish as they catch the chick peas and the final result is like having a shell with an oyster inside. Kids seem to go for this version of pasta that I cooked many times while in Italy. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese and drizzled with olive oil.

PEASANT PASTA STEW



Peasant Pasta Stew image

Got this recipe from taste of home and absolutely love it!! Pasta can be omitted by all means, i haven't added it in a long time. It's the flavour I love! The key is the V8 juice!

Provided by Krista Roussy

Categories     Pasta

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 c beef broth
2 celery ribs chopped
2 large carrots chopped
1 medium onion chopped
1 can(s) 46oz v8 juice
1 can(s) diced tomatoes undrained
2 can(s) 6oz each tomato paste (i use one)
1TB oregano, dried
pepper
garlic powder (to your taste)
3/4-1lb ground pork
1 can(s) kidney beans, rinsed & drained
1 c med shell pasta or other small pasta cooked and drained
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. In skillet, brown pork till no longer pink, drain and set aside.
  • 2. In dutch oven/large pot combine the broth, celery, carrots and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 min or so till veggies are crisp-tender. Stir in V8 juice, tomatoes, tomato paste, pork and spices. Simmer for approx 1 1/2 hours, add the beans during the last half hour of cooking.
  • 3. Stir in the pasta just before serving and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serves approx 8.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pasta will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and high-quality pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a large pot: Pasta needs plenty of room to cook properly. Use a pot that is large enough to hold the pasta, water, and sauce without boiling over.
  • Salt the water: Salting the water helps to flavor the pasta and prevents it from sticking together.
  • Add the pasta to boiling water: Never add pasta to cold water. The pasta will cook more evenly if it is added to boiling water.
  • Stir the pasta occasionally: Stirring the pasta helps to prevent it from sticking together and ensures that it cooks evenly.
  • Taste the pasta before draining it: Pasta is done cooking when it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Taste the pasta before draining it to make sure it is cooked to your liking.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes pasta special. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the dish.
  • Serve the pasta immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. The longer it sits, the more likely it is to become mushy.

Conclusion:

Peasant pasta is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. With fresh, high-quality ingredients and a flavorful sauce, peasant pasta is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give peasant pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!
