SPAGHETTI ALLA SIRACUSANA



Spaghetti Alla Siracusana image

Something different to do with sardines! They blend into the other flavors, so this is not an overtly "fishy" taste. This is not saucy, rather it just dresses the pasta and the bread crumb mixture adds texture as well as flavor. From Food and Wine magazine.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI



Italian Sausage Spaghetti image

This is my favorite method of making Italian sausage spaghetti. By browning the sausages first and then cooking them in the sauce at a long, slow simmer, the sausage is loaded with flavor and firm, but tender--almost meatball-like in texture. And we hardly need any seasonings because the long cook time allows the sauce to get infused with all the sausage-y goodness!

Provided by Chef John

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6 ounce) sweet Italian sausage links
¼ cup white wine
1 (32 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 ½ cups water
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Transfer sausage links into the hot pot. Cover with a lid and cook until beautifully browned and just barely cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. You can increase the heat a little if you like, but make sure the oil does not smoke. Turn off the heat and remove sausages to a plate to cool completely.
  • While the sausages are cooling, add wine to the same pot over medium-high heat. As it comes up to a simmer, stir the caramelized bits on the bottom of a pan with a spoon or spatula. Simmer until it reduces by about half, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add marinara sauce. Pour water into the jar of pasta sauce, seal, and shake to rinse out the jar. Pour that liquid into the pot and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  • Slice each fully cooled sausage into 4 pieces. Transfer sausage and any accumulated juices into the simmering sauce. Stir and increase heat to just between low and medium-low. Cook at a gentle, steady simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Taste and adjust seasonings. Skim about 1/2 of the fat from the surface, and continue to cook until reduced and thick, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until almost tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain spaghetti and transfer it directly into the pot of hot sauce. Mix until thoroughly combined. Cover with the lid and let sit for 1 minute so the pasta can absorb some of the sauce.
  • Evenly divide pasta onto 4 plates and top each serving with 4 pieces sausage. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley.

Categories     Pasta     Tomato     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Lunch     Basil     Eggplant     Bell Pepper     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1- to 1 1/4 -pound eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large yellow bell pepper
2 pounds tomatoes
1/2 cup olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, flattened
4 anchovy fillets, chopped
4 ounces brine-cured black olives (such as Kalamata), pitted, coarsely chopped
12 large basil leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 pound spaghetti
1/2 cup packed fresh grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Arrange eggplant on double thickness of paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Pat eggplant dry with paper towels. Char bell pepper over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Wrap in paper bag and let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and slice pepper into thin strips. Blanch tomatoes in pot of boiling water for 20 seconds. Drain. Peel tomatoes. Cut tomatoes in half; squeeze out seeds. Chop tomatoes; set aside.
  • Heat oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté until light brown, about 3 minutes. Discard garlic. Add eggplant to pot; sauté until beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add anchovies; stir 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes. Add olives, basil, capers and bell pepper strips and simmer until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm over low heat before using.)
  • Cook spaghetti in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain well. Transfer spaghetti to large shallow bowl. Spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful garlic, and high-quality olive oil will make a big difference in the taste of your Spaghetti Siracusani.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the spaghetti, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite. This is the ideal texture for Spaghetti Siracusani.
  • Use a large pan: When making the sauce, use a large pan so that the sauce has plenty of room to simmer and develop its flavor.
  • Let the sauce simmer: Simmering the sauce for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh basil or parsley are classic garnishes for Spaghetti Siracusani.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti Siracusani is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Spaghetti Siracusani a try!
