Pasta with Spicy Sausage, Radicchio, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Sun-dried tomatoes add a touch of sweetness and just the right hit of acid to balance out the spicy sausage and pleasingly bitter notes of radicchio in this simple pasta.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound casarecce or other short pasta
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 1/4 pounds radicchio, cored, coarsely chopped (about 7 cups)
1/2 cup thinly sliced drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 3/4 cup pasta cooking liquid; return pasta to pot.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add onion and 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes (do not brown). Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up sausage into small bits with a wooden spoon, until sausage is mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add radicchio and 2 Tbsp. water. Cook, covered, until sausage is cooked through and radicchio is wilted, 3-5 minutes more.
  • Add tomatoes, sausage mixture, and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid to pot with pasta. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat, and add remaining 1/4 cup pasta cooking liquid, if needed. Divide among serving plates and top with pepper.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out nothing like the picture. The sauce was too watery and the sausage was dry.

This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my own taste. I added some chopped spinach to the sauce and used a different type of cheese.

The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicier sausage than the recipe called for. Next time I'll use a milder sausage.

I added a bit of cream to the sauce and it made it even more creamy and delicious. This is a great recipe for a special occasion.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The sweetness of the sun-dried tomatoes helped to balance out the heat of the sausage.
