Creamy Sausage Harissa Pasta Recipes

CREAMY SAUSAGE PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to al dente package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
• While pasta cooks, sauté vegetables: In a large, deep skillet heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are almost softened, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add sausage and season: Increase heat to medium-high. Add the sausage to the pan along with the Italian seasoning. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, breaking the sausage up into large crumbles as you go, for about 4-6 minutes, or until sausage is almost browned. Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add flour and deglaze: Sprinkle the flour over sausage and stir well. Cook 1-2 minute to remove raw flour taste. Add the wine (or 1/3 cup broth) to deglaze the pan. Stir well, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.
• Add liquids and simmer: Stir in the broth and then add the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, then immediately reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
• Add pasta: Stir in the cooked pasta. Cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
• Add parmesan: Turn off the heat and gradually stir in parmesan cheese, one handful at a time. Stir until cheese is fully melted and incorporated.
• Serve: Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and top with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon. Serve and enjoy!

• In the same skillet you used for the pasta (or a new one if you used a pot) cook sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon or spatula as it cooks, for 6-8 minutes or until completely browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the pan. Once melted, stir in garlic 1-2 minutes til fragrant. Add mushrooms and saute 3-4 minutes until very tender.

CREAMY SAUSAGE & HARISSA PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion until softened and translucent, about 8 mins. Push to one side of the pan.
• Squeeze the sausagemeat from the skins into the centre of the pan. Cook for 5-8 mins until browned, squashing into smaller chunks with the spoon as it cooks. Add the garlic and tomatoes. Let the tomatoes soften for a few minutes, stirring now and then to prevent sticking. Stir in the harissa paste and mascarpone.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water in a saucepan following pack instructions.
• Drain the pasta, saving a mugful of the water. Tip the pasta into the sauce, add the parsley and stir together. Add a splash of the pasta water to loosen the sauce - it should be silky and coat the pasta without pooling in the bottom of the pan. Grind over some black pepper to serve, if you like.
