Provided by Brian Boitano

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 red bell peppers
1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian chicken sausage, casings removed
8 ounces dried rigatoni
1 baby eggplant (about 6 ounces) stemmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the oven 6 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler.
  • Put the peppers on a baking sheet and put it under the broiler. Roast, turning the peppers with tongs a quarter turn every couple of minutes, until charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
  • Using a paper towel, rub the charred skins off the peppers. Carefully remove the cores, stems, and seeds, and slice the pieces lengthwise into thin strips. Reserve any liquid the peppers release.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute; drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and return the pasta to the warm pot.
  • Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet, add the eggplant, season with salt and pepper, and cook until brown and just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the roasted peppers with any reserved liquid, asparagus, sausage, and vinegar and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer the sausage mixture to the warm rigatoni and add the Parmesan, parsley, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and stir to combine.
  • Taste the pasta and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a large bowl and serve immediately.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Sausage

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 shallot, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
¼ cup olive oil
1 pound thin spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 (3.5 ounce) links sweet Italian sausage
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup red wine
1 ½ cups pasta sauce
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 pinch salt, or to taste
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp, shallot, 1 clove of garlic, creole seasoning, and 1/4 cup of olive oil in a bowl, and stir to coat the shrimp with the marinade. Set the shrimp aside.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet, and brown the sausages on all sides until they are evenly brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet, and cook and stir the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion in the hot skillet until the vegetables are slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cloves of garlic, and cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 5 more minutes.
  • Slice the sausages, and return them to the skillet. Stir red wine and pasta sauce with the sausages and vegetables, bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and simmer until the vegetables are soft, the sausage is no longer pink in the middle, and the sauce has reduced to about half its volume, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes and salt.
  • Heat butter in a skillet; cook and stir the shrimp and marinade mixture until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the shallot becomes translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. To serve, place about 1/2 cup of cooked pasta on a warmed plate, and spoon shrimp over one side of the pasta, and sausage and peppers on the other side.

SPICY SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND ONIONS (CROCK POT)



Spicy Sausage, Peppers and Onions (Crock Pot) image

Spicy sausage, pepper and onions. Takes very little prep time and is great for potlucks. Inexpensive and makes alot. Very delicious kids and adults both liked it is very filling. I first took it to a church game night that was just supposed to be snack food but knew I would want something a little more filling than chips had several requests for the recipe. Which made me have to think because when I first made it I used what I had in the house. This is what I remember using. I used Bar-S brand polish sausage which is just a cheap sausage a pack of 3 lbs is about $4 ( found in with the hot dogs in the refrigerated section lunch meats and stuff). Could be used as an entree ( just serve it on a whole bun) snack or starter for a party I think.

  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes this dish so rich and flavorful. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
