Sausage Pasta
It’s the final Monday of August which suggests one other Monday Meatball Mania* right here! I hadn’t deliberate for this Sausage Pasta to be my meatball recipe for this month….however once I observed that chopped up sausages find yourself trying identical to mini meatballs, I couldn’t resist. 😉
I imply, what a technique to make “meatballs”, proper? Simply chop up sausages! They could get smeary and messy if you chop them – mine did – however as soon as they’re within the skillet, they agency up and rework into balls.
* Monday Meatball Mania is a “factor” my buddy Jo from Jo Cooks and I began in the beginning of 2017 the place we every publish a meatball recipe on the final Monday of each month. Why can we do that? a) For our personal leisure; and b) As a result of we each love ball formed meals and suppose there needs to be extra of them on this world.
The sausages are the flavour base of the sauce for this Sausage Pasta, so please don’t get the essential finest worth sausages from the grocery store! Consider me, I’m not a sausage snob. I’ve been identified to seek out fund raiser sausage sizzles on weekends (it’s for charity I inform myself).
However there’s a time and place for various kinds of sausages and on this specific recipe, it’s necessary to get a superb – or no less than first rate – sausage. Right here’s my tip for good vs low cost sausages not appropriate for this recipe: low cost sausages are a uniform pink color, as a result of the meat has been whizzed up with fillers. Good sausages are is not going to be a uniform color – you will note specks of fats and generally seasonings.
These days, supermarkets promote actually nice sausages which might be pure meat, no (or very minimal) fillers. My favorite are Italian sausages as a result of I just like the flavour, however you should utilize any good sausages you need.
This Sausage Pasta is a extremely nice fast meal. Get the pasta water boiling, and in the meantime begin the sauce. Pop the pasta within the water and whereas the pasta is cooking, the sauce will simmer away. When you can deal with that multi tasking, you’ll get this dinner on the desk in simply over quarter-hour. You’ve GOT THIS! – Johnsat xx

Ingredients
- 250 g / 0.5 lb spiral pasta (Note 1)
- 500 g / 1 lb good Italian sausages , or other quality sausages of choice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion , finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 800 g / 28 oz crushed tomato (or tomato passata)
- 1 tsp chilli flakes / red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 – 2 big handfuls baby spinach (optional)
- Basil leaves , finely sliced
- Parmesan
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Cook pasta per packet directions MINUS 1 -2 minutes.
- Just before you drain, RESERVE 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Then drain pasta.
- Use a sharp knife to cut sausages into chunks about 1.5cm/3/5″. It will get a bit smeary and the chunks will be weird shapes – don’t worry, it self fixes while cooking!
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add sausages and cook until quite browned on the outside, doesn’t have to be cooked through inside.
- Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent and sausages are very browned.
- Add tomato, chilli flakes, pinch of salt and pepper. Mix and turn heat down to medium. Lets it bubble away energetically for 8 minutes or until it is quite thickened, stirring every now and then.
- Add baby spinach (if using), pasta, and about 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Toss quickly, no longer than 1 minute (otherwise the pasta may start to break).
- Remove from stove, and serve immediately, garnished with plenty of basil and parmesan. Enjoy!
Notes
1. I find that 250g / 0.5 lb spiral pasta is sufficient to serve 4 people because it seems to expand in volume more than strand pastas because of the shape. If you want to use more pasta, add about 1 tbsp tomato pasta + 1/4 cup water for every extra 50g / 2 oz of pasta. Also you can use any shaped pasta you want!
2. WORKFLOW: Fill large pot with water, while it comes to the boil, chop and brown the sausages. Then while the pasta is cooking, finish the sauce. If you can manage this multi tasking, you’ll get this on the table in just over 15 minutes!
3. Nutrition per serving, assuming 4 servings.
