CHICKEN & SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. These are the main ingredients for this recipe. NOTE: I DID NOT SEASON THE CHICKEN BREAST BECAUSE I COOKED IT WITH THE ITALIAN SAUSAGE, THAT IS ALREADY SEASONED..
• 2. Add chicken & sausages to a large pot, Cover the chicken & sausage with water & boil until the chicken breast Is tender. Skim off any fat that accumulates in the pot from the sausages.
• 3. Remove both the sausage and chicken and allow the chicken breast to cool until chicken is cool enough to handle. Add more water if needed to the pot, enough to cook the spaghetti and bring water back to boil & cook the spaghetti until al dente, according to directions on box.
• 4. Debone the chicken, and cut or break into smaller portions, then cut each of the sausages into about 4-5 pieces each.
• 5. Reserve 2 cups of broth from pot after the spaghetti has cooked to add to spaghetti mixture later, because it has a lot of flavor from the sausages, or use canned chicken broth. Then drain spaghetti in a colander and set aside till needed.
• 6. Chop the onion, garlic, peppers, and roasted red peppers.
• 7. Melt butter in pot from cooked chicken & sausages or a skillet add in the chopped vegetables and sauté until transparent, at least 7 or 8 minutes.
• 8. Remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl or use pot after it has cooled down, and add about half of the spaghetti, drained mushrooms, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar and stir, add in about half of the reserved stock, and stir until mixture is blended together. Then add in the seasoning and the canned soups, pepper jack cheese, remaining spaghetti, & stock if needed and stir, add in the chicken and cut sausages , stirring till it is all blended into the casserole.
• 9. Spray a 9X13 size casserole dish with cooking spray, add the spaghetti casserole to the dish and place in a preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes until heated through, then top with remaining half cup cheddar cheese and return to oven until cheese melts about 10 to 15 minutes.
• 10. Remove and serve while still hot. There is nothing more enjoyable than a one dish meal. You could add a salad and dinner rolls or garlic bread to make your meal complete.

SAUSAGE PASTA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a shallow 3-quart baking dish with olive oil. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until very al dente; you still want it to retain a little bite. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and cook and crumble with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and fennel; cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt. Bring to a simmer and add the cream. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water from the pasta. Turn up the heat to medium high and simmer rapidly to thicken the sauce and blend the flavors, about 10 minutes.
• Add the rigatoni and basil and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in half each of the mozzarella and parmesan. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Bake until browned and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

SPAGHETTI WITH CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, AND PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

Add the chicken, the sausage, the tomatoes with the juice, the wine, the orégano, the basil, and the sugar and boil the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. While the mixture is boiling, in a kettle of boiling salted water boil the spaghetti until it is al dente and drain it well. To the tomato mixture add the cream and salt and pepper to taste and simmer the sauce for 3 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly. Divide the spaghetti between 2 plates and spoon the sauce over it.

Remove the chicken and let cool, then shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones. Save the broth for cooking the spaghetti.
• Remove the sausage from the casings and put into a large skillet with the olive oil. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the sausage meat into small pieces, until it is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Add the mushrooms to the skillet. When they give up their liquid, add the green peppers and sundried tomatoes, then cook until just beginning to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and set aside on top of the sausage. Reserve the oil in the skillet.
• Bring the reserved chicken broth back to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the broth until al dente according to the package instructions, then drain, reserving the broth.
• If there is less than 2 tablespoons oil/fat in the skillet, add some olive oil to make 2 tablespoons. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute over medium heat. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of the reserved chicken broth. When it starts to thicken, after about 5 minutes, add the half-and-half. If it is too thick, thin with some more broth.
