Description
A delicious sausage and pasta dish that combines the flavors of Italian sausage with a vibrant tomato sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Pasta of your choice (Choose a shape that holds sauce well, like penne or rigatoni.)
- 1 tbsp Salt (Enhances the flavor of the pasta as it cooks.)
- 1 lb Italian sausage (Use sweet or spicy depending on your taste preference.)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (A splash for sautéing.)
- 28 oz Crushed tomatoes (Provide a vibrant base.)
- 3 cloves Garlic (Minced for depth of flavor.)
- 1 medium Onion (Diced finely.)
- 1/4 cup Fresh basil or parsley (Chopped for a burst of freshness.)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add your sliced sausage and cook until it’s nicely browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Toss in diced onions and minced garlic, stirring them into the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent, roughly 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in diced tomatoes along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let everything simmer together for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- While the sauce simmers, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add your choice of pasta and cook until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and add it directly to the skillet with the sausage mixture. Toss everything together gently over low heat for another 2-3 minutes.
- Plate your delicious sausage and pasta dish, garnishing with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Notes
- Can substitute sausage type based on preference.
- Experiment with different pasta shapes for varied textures.
