ONE POT ITALIAN SAUSAGE PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook pasta noodles according to package directions and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking pasta water.
• Meanwhile, sauté onions in a large pan until tender, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and sauté additional 30 seconds. Add sausage and cook until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Once browned, add reserved pasta cooking water and use a wooden spoon to break up the tasty bits from the bottom of the pan. Add pepper and sauté another 4-5 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and spinach then cook another 4 minutes or until tender. Toss in parmesan cheese and the cooked pasta, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Garnish with fresh basil and parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until softened and translucent and the sausage is well browned, another 5 to 7 minutes. Add the oregano, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, garlic and some salt and black pepper and stir again.
• Next, add the broth, tomato puree and tomato paste and stir well. Add the uncooked pasta into the sauce, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the mozzarella and mascarpone. Taste and add more seasoning if necessary. Serve with shaved Parmesan and torn basil leaves.
