SWEET AND SPICY SAUSAGE AND FARFALLE



Sweet and Spicy Sausage and Farfalle image

Sweet and Spicy Sausage and Farfalle is a recipe that I grew up eating, and fell in love with again as an adult. It is one of the easiest recipes you can ask for, and the speedy preparation time makes it a perfect weeknight dinner option. When I was growing up I couldn't understand why we had sweet and spicy sausage and farfalle for dinner all the time. As an adult, I get it! This is the little recipe that can feed your family of 4-5 with just 20 minutes to total preparation time. Plus, the ingredients are all super cheap. It makes perfect sense that my Mom made this recipe to feed our family of five frequently.

Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Sweet Italian Sausages (1/2 lb total)
1/4 cup chopped White Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 14.5 oz can of Crushed Tomatoes
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
2 cups Farfalle
2 cups Baby Spinach
2 tablespoons Parmesan
1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Steps:

  • Finely chop the onion and garlic. Slice the ends off the sausage, and push the meat out of the casing, and loosely crumble it up.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water has come to a boil, add the pasta. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Then drain the pasta and set aside.
  • As soon as you put the water on the boil, start to prepare the rest of this dish. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and sauté. After 2 minutes, add the sausage and red pepper flakes. For a mild spice add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, or add more for extra spice.
  • Brown the sausage, while using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces.
  • Once the sausage has browned, add the garlic, crushed tomatoes, and cream. Stir together. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the drained pasta to the sauce, along with the spinach (I tear it up as I add it in). Let the pasta and spinach simmer in the sauce for 2 minutes over medium heat. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.

One 1-pound bag sweet mini peppers
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 links (about 2 pounds) sweet or hot Italian sausage links

Steps:

  • Add peppers, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, granulated garlic, salt and pepper to a large skillet and toss to coat. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and saute the peppers until they start to get slightly tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Nestle in the sausages amongst the peppers and lower the heat to low, then cover and gently simmer until the sausages are about 145 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes.

SPICY SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE AND SQUASH



Spicy Sheet-Pan Sausage and Squash image

Like chicken thighs, whose rendered skin leaves behind a puddle of schmaltz for frying vegetables, bread or beans, sausage yields a delicious fat for cooking. Paired with butternut squash and crisped in a hot oven, its spicy fat slicks the sweet squash, while parsley and lemon cut through all the richness. Feel free to switch up the squash for carrots, broccoli, potatoes: Any vegetables that are good roasted will work well in that liquid gold. If the meal seems light, bulk it up by topping with a cup of feta or rinsed canned chickpeas, adding arugula or watercress to the parsley, or serving it all on a bed of kale or mustard greens, like a warm salad.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, weeknight, roasts, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 pound spicy sausage (fresh chorizo, Italian, Andouille or otherwise)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cup parsley leaves
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more as desired
Flaky salt, as desired

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees and stick a large baking sheet in the oven. Prep the squash and sausage: Cut the squash into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices crosswise in half. Transfer to a large bowl. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. Transfer to the bowl with the squash, then stir to coat with the olive oil and fat pinches of salt and pepper.
  • When the oven comes to temperature, carefully dump the squash and sausage mixture onto the hot baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Roast, stirring every so often to coat the squash in the rendered fat, until the squash is tender and sausages are crisp and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. (To add some color, put them under the broiler for a minute or two.) Let cool slightly while you prepare the parsley.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the parsley and lemon juice, and add salt and pepper to taste. Slice the sausage diagonally in thirds. Serve the sausage and squash on a platter with a pile of parsley on top and sprinkled with an extra squeeze of lemon and flaky salt, if desired.

PERFECT SPICY SAUSAGE PASTA SALAD



Perfect Spicy Sausage Pasta Salad image

Gorgeous!! Morish!! ...and the easiest Pasta Salad to make by far!! One helping is never enough!! Prep time does not include the time taken to *cook the Pasta which usually takes about 10 minutes in the microwave. I add plenty of salt and a good dollop of Olive Oil to the water. (I find the Olive Oil flavours the Pasta) 'BEER STICKS' are about the size of Frankfurters, but the meat is like that of pepperoni OR salami. They are called Beer Sticks in N.Z. but there may well be another name used for them elsewhere.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPER SALAD



Sausage and Pepper Salad image

Sweet and spicy peppers mingle with fennel, shallots, and garlicky crostini for a hearty, satisfying salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Yield Serves 5

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 hot Italian sausage links, meat removed from casings
4 sweet Italian sausage links, meat removed from casings
1 yellow pepper, cut in 1/2-inch strips
1 large shallot or 2 small, sliced crosswise
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
5 slices ciabatta bread
1 head romaine lettuce, washed, well dried, and crisped in refrigerator, and chopped into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • In large skillet, saute sausage meat. Using a metal spatula to break the pieces up, cook until it is golden brown and with some crispy bits, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the peppers and shallots to the same pan. Saute to soften, about 5 minutes. Deglaze with the wine, cooking to reduce it to a slight glaze on the peppers. Place the pepper mixture on the plate on top of the sausage.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic to the pan. Let the garlic sizzle, and remove before it is brown. Add bread and cook to golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the up side of the bread, turn, and continue cooking until crisp.
  • Place the lettuce and fennel in a large bowl; add the sausage and pepper mixture. Drizzle over the vinegar, sprinkle with salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Toss well and serve in a large salad bowl topped with the shaved Parmesan and a crostini.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Look for a sausage with a good balance of sweet and spicy flavors. A mild Italian sausage or a spicy chorizo would both be good options.
  • Slice the sausage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Brown the sausage in a pan: This will add flavor and color to the sausage.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and nutrition to the salad. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or a honey mustard dressing would both be good options.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This will prevent the vegetables from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

This sweet and spicy sausage salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone, and the variety of vegetables adds color, texture, and nutrition. This salad is also a great way to use up leftover sausage.
