SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS PASTA WITH BROCCOLI



Sausage and Peppers Pasta With Broccoli image

The classic Italian combination of sausage and peppers creates a satisfying and easy weeknight meal when combined with pasta. Broccoli is a fantastic nutritious addition that adds texture and cooks up quickly, or you can opt for broccolini or broccoli rabe if you want a more assertive vegetable. Sweet Italian pork sausage is used here, but there's no need to feel tied to the recipe: Substitute with spicy Italian sausage for extra heat, use chicken-apple sausage for a healthier take, or swap in fresh chorizo or breakfast sausage to turn this dinner into brunch.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian pork sausage, casings removed
1 pound broccoli, cut into 1 1/2-inch florets (about 4 cups)
2 medium yellow bell peppers (12 ounces), cored, seeded and thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and pepper
1 pound rigatoni
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat using a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a medium bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the broccoli, peppers and garlic to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until they soften and begin to brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water and drain the pasta. Return the pasta and reserved cooking water to the pot over low heat. Add the broccoli mixture, cooked sausage and its accumulated juices, 1/2 cup Parmesan, the lemon juice and red-pepper flakes and stir vigorously until liquid is slightly thickened and saucy, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the pasta with additional Parmesan for sprinkling on top.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 35m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups parsley leaves
8 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1/2 cup olive oil
2 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes
5 pounds sweet Italian sausage in casing, cut into 1-inch lengths
2 tablespoons kosher salt

  • To assemble, bring one very large pot or two large pots of water to a boil for the pasta. Add the salt and bay leaves.
  • Return the saute pan to the stove and heat the fat over high heat. Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are browned. Add the peppers and cook for five minutes, stirring well and scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook the pasta with the boiling water until just done, but not mushy.
  • Stir the mushrooms, peppers and reserved sausage into the marinara sauce. Heat through.
  • Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 lb sweet Italian turkey sausage links
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and sliced
2 yellow onions, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup marsala wine
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 lb rigatoni pasta
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan.
  • Keeping the pan over medium heat, add the bell peppers, onions, salt, and pepper and cook until golden, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, and basil and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until incorporated, then add the Marsala, tomatoes with their juice, and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the brown bits. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cut the sausages into 4 to 6 pieces each. Return the sausages to the pan. Simmer uncovered until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and add to the thickened sauce; toss to combine. Spoon into individual bowls and sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe peppers and onions, and use a good quality Italian sausage.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat. This will help to render the fat and prevent the sausage from drying out.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much sausage to the pan at once, it will steam instead of brown. Cook the sausage in batches if necessary.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Serve immediately. Rigatoni with Italian sausage, peppers, and onions is best served hot, straight from the pan.

Conclusion:

Rigatoni with Italian sausage, peppers, and onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With its flavorful combination of sausage, peppers, and onions, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
