PENNE WITH SAUSAGE IN CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE



Penne With Sausage in Creamy Tomato Sauce image

This is an easy recipe with tons of flavor, rigatoni pasta can be used in place of penne. If you are using spicy sausages then omit the chili flakes. Try to use only high-quality canned tomato products, it will really make a huge difference in your sauce, no no-name brands for this! With this sauce (and any tomato-based sauce) it needs some time to cook, the longer you cook the sauce uncovered the thicker and richer it will be, you can even start it in the morning turn it off then continue cooking later, cook for even 2 hours!

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of sausage, such as spicy chorizo or mild breakfast sausage. Just be sure to adjust the seasoning accordingly.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes will give your sauce a brighter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding the sauce: Sautéing the vegetables in a little olive oil will help to caramelize them and bring out their sweetness. This will add depth and flavor to your sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce for a longer period of time will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will add a pop of freshness and flavor to your sauce. Add them at the end of the cooking process so that they don't lose their flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta: Penne is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of pasta, such as spaghetti, macaroni, or rigatoni.

Conclusion:

This penne with sausage and tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner.
