Sweet Onion Sausage Spaghetti Recipes

EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage, mushrooms, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic in the hot oil until sausage is browned and crumbly, about 20 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Stir tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and olives into sausage mixture; season with oregano, basil, and salt. Simmer mixture until flavors infuse, about 30 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl; top with tomato-sausage sauce and Parmesan cheese.

ELAINA - THE RISING SPOON

Steps:

• Place a medium-sized Dutch oven, stockpot, or saute pan (with tall, straight sides) over medium-high heat and measure in the cooking oil.
• Let the oil warm a minute, then add the onion & bell pepper. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, then add the ground sausage. Cook 3-5 minutes, while breaking the meat into small chunks with a spatula.
• Add the dried spices, diced tomatoes, broth, and spaghetti (broken in half). Stir everything and push the spaghetti down until it's submerged in the broth. If needed, add more broth or water 1/4 cup at a time until the spaghetti is just barely covered by the liquid.
• Cover with a lid and bring the mixture to a simmer (this should take about 2-3 minutes). Stir the pasta to make sure it's not sticking to the bottom, replace the lid, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the canned coconut milk or heavy whipping cream, replace the lid again, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender to your liking.
• Remove from heat, uncover, and add the lemon juice (or vinegar) + grated cheese. Stir well, taste and (if needed) add more salt or lemon juice. Let the spaghetti sit for 5-ish minutes so the sauce can thicken up. Ladle into bowls and (optional) top with extra cheese, cracked black pepper & olive oil.

SAUSAGE, ONION AND PEPPER BAKED PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add both cans of tomatoes and 1 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat slightly, add the basil sprigs and simmer rapidly, uncovered, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the basil and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Add the green and red bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the sausage drippings and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the sausage.
• Cook the rigatoni in the salted boiling water until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl.
• Add the tomato sauce, half of the fontina and half of the Parmesan to the bowl and stir well to combine. Transfer the pasta to a 3- to 4-quart baking dish and top with the remaining fontina and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until browned, about 15 minutes. Let the pasta stand about 10 minutes before serving.
