Sweet Italian Sausage With Red Gravy and Pasta image

This is one of my husband's family's recipes. It's simple and doesn't require much prep time, especially if you use a food processor to cut the onion and celery. Seasoning amounts are approximate, though I don't recommend shorting the sugar. The gravy (I would call it sauce, but the family insists on "gravy" ) should be sweet and basil-heavy to complement the flavors of the sausages.

Time 1h5m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (19 1/2 ounce) packages sweet Italian turkey sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1 (46 ounce) can tomato juice
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (6 ounce) cans water
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with onion garlic and basil
1/2 cup sugar (may need as much as 1 cup to sweeten the gravy appropriately)
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) box thin whole wheat spaghetti

Steps:

  • Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat while dicing onion and celery. Sauté vegetables until onions turn clear. Remove from heat.
  • In a large pot (6 qt or larger, I use an 8 qt stock pot) over medium-low heat, combine tomato juice, tomato paste, water, diced tomatoes, onion, celery, sugar, and seasonings.
  • Heat gravy to a boil (shouldn't need to raise heat above medium) and add sausages; boil for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Prepare pasta according to package directions and drain. Spoon a small amount of gravy over pasta (in its own pot) and stir gently to help prevent sticking.
  • Serving size is roughly a cup of pasta, one sausage, and about 3/4 cup gravy.

I had a hard time finding sweet Italian sausage, so I used regular sausage instead. The dish still turned out great.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use mild sausage next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of sausage. The dish was still really good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more garlic.
