Farfalle With Italian Sausage Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Finely chop onion and mince garlic
  • Grate the cheeses
  • In large pot, bring water to a boil, adding pasta and salt. Cook according to directions for about 6 mins, and drain
  • DO NOT OVERCOOK!! It will finish cooking in the sauce.
  • While water heats and pasta cooks:
  • In large heavy skillet, crumble well and fry sausage over medium high heat until brown. Drain fat.
  • Add onion, salt and pepper stirring until onion is sweated and transparent, about 3 mins.
  • Add garlic and stirring just long enough to release the flavor, about one min Do NOT brown the garlic.
  • Add the entire can of tomatoes, juice and all and stir well, scraping to deglaze the skillet. Reduce heat when skillet is deglazed.
  • Add thyme, rosemary, basil if desired
  • Add 1/2 of the grated cheese slowly while stirring, saving the rest for topping
  • Cover, reduce heat and simmer very slowly, about 5-10 mins.
  • Add drained pasta, folding it in gently so it keeps it's shape.
  • Cover and simmer until pasta is tender and excess liquid is absorbed, about 4-5 mins.
  • Remove from heat and plate, sprinkling each serving with 1/4 of the remaining cheeses. Serve with a salad and italian bread.
  • NOTE: Hot italian sausage can be used, but it's a little too hot for us so I just add crushed red pepper to taste. If you use the hot sausage, leave out the crushed red pepper. The herbs can easily be adjusted for the amount of seasoning in the sausage you are using. One brand I get has a LOT of basil so I never need to add any extra. This reheats/freezes well too!
