Cheesy Baked Pasta With Sausage and Ricotta image

Like a cross between baked ziti and sausage lasagna, this mozzarella-topped pasta is rich with ricotta and crushed tomatoes - and cooks entirely in one pan, including the pasta. The Italian sausage adds meaty depth to the sauce, but vegetarians can leave it out or use their favorite plant-based sausage instead.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     easy, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound bulk hot or mild Italian sausage (pork, chicken or turkey)
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely crushed
Pinch of red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving (optional)
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes with their juices
1 (14-ounce) can crushed or strained tomatoes
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt
12 ounces dried pasta, such as small shells, farfalle or other shaped pasta
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-size pieces
6 ounces whole-milk ricotta (about 3/4 cup)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup basil leaves
Black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Crumble sausage into skillet, using a spoon to break it into small pieces. Cook until starting to brown, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes (if using), and cook another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in whole tomatoes and their juice, using a spoon to break them up. Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Stir in pasta and 1 cup water and return to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat, pluck out the bay leaves, and fold in about a third of the mozzarella.
  • Top pasta with remaining mozzarella and dollops of ricotta. Sprinkle with Parmesan, then transfer to oven. Bake until pasta is tender when poked with a fork, and cheese is bubbly and lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes. (If you'd like a more deeply browned topping, run the pan under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes.) Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Top with basil, plenty of black pepper, and more red-pepper flakes, if you like.

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLI RABE



Pasta with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe image

Tips: Cook the broccoli rabe the night before and you'll be way ahead. Whatever you do, read the recipe through start to finish before you get started. It's a little out of the ordinary but relatively painless. Cook off the garlic and sausage up to one hour ahead and let it sit in the pan until you're ready to finish the dish.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed of damaged leaves
1 pound orecchiette or other pasta noodle
2 tablespoons water
4 to 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 pound Italian sausage, cut into quarter-inch slices
Salt
1 cup coarse, seasoned bread crumbs, toasted, optional garnish
Pecorino Romano or Parmesan, optional garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the broccoli rabe into 3 to 4 inch pieces, discarding the stems. In a large pot of rapidly boiling water, blanch the broccoli rabe until tender and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Before you drain broccoli rabe, reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid. Drain and rinse the broccoli rabe with cold water until it has cooled off. Spread it out on a towel to finish draining.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions until al dente.
  • While the pasta is cooking, place 2 tablespoons of water into a cold skillet with garlic and sausage and then turn heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and sausage is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Pour reserved broccoli water into pan with sausage.
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain it and place back in pot you cooked it in and season with salt. Pour sausage sauce over pasta and stir in cooked broccoli rabe. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately.
  • If the Queen's coming to dinner: Garnish with fresh bread crumbs and/or freshly grated pecorino Romano or parmesan cheese.

PASTA WITH SPICY SAUSAGE, BROCCOLI RABE AND CHICKPEAS



Pasta With Spicy Sausage, Broccoli Rabe and Chickpeas image

In this hearty weeknight pasta recipe, chickpeas contribute an earthy, nutty flavor to the classic combination of sausage and broccoli rabe. The addition of Parmesan, butter, and lemon juice just before serving balances the heat from the sausage with a bit of richness, creating a bright and flavorful sauce in the process. This pasta is incredibly versatile: You can use any sturdy greens or even broccoli in place of the broccoli rabe, and feel free to swap in whatever pasta shape and canned beans you have on hand. You can even substitute sweet Italian sausage or ground pork or turkey for the sausage in a pinch; add about 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes to give this dish its spicy kick.

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, beans, meat, pastas, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe or broccoli, chopped, tough stems discarded, or hearty greens like kale or escarole
1 pound shaped pasta, such as campanelle or orecchiette
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed, or sweet Italian sausage, ground pork or turkey
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas or other white beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino, plus more for serving
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Roughly chop the broccoli rabe, add it to the pot, and cook for 3 minutes. Use a sieve or slotted spoon to lift the broccoli rabe from the water and place it in a colander to drain.
  • Bring the water back to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
  • Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven or deep, 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. (Don't worry if the sausage is not completely cooked through.) Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the wine and cook, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute.
  • Add the broccoli rabe, chickpeas, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the sausage is cooked through and the broccoli rabe is very tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water, toss well, and cook over low heat until the sauce comes together, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add additional pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, if needed for moisture.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter, Parmesan, lemon zest and lemon juice, and toss until the butter is melted. Divide pasta among shallow bowls and top with additional cheese sprinkled on top.

SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PENNE PASTA



Sweet Italian Sausage With Penne Pasta image

We are Italian and if you go through my recipes you'll find alot of wonderful, quick and easy pasta dishes. We love our pasta and we love garlic, too! Serve this with garlic Texas toast. I can't eat pasta much anymore because I'm diabetic but my husband and daughter love it so I keep making it for them. I usually eat salmon (I have one or two good ones for salmon, too- check them out).

Categories     Penne

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb penne pasta
1 lb broccoli floret (I use frozen)
8 ounces Italian sausage, cut in bite-size chunks (sweet & mild)
2 tablespoons garlic, minced (you can use less if you want)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano cheese

Steps:

  • Boil the water and cook the penne according to package directions. DO NOT ever add oil to the water! It will make your sauce slide off the pasta later.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil (medium-high heat) in a large skillet and saute the broccoli, sausage and garlic until tender and starting to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Toss the butter, hot pasta, sausage mixture and romano cheese together and serve. Pass the grated cheese at the table.
