Farfalle With Mushrooms And Italian Sausage Food

SWEET AND SPICY SAUSAGE AND FARFALLE

Steps:

• Finely chop the onion and garlic. Slice the ends off the sausage, and push the meat out of the casing, and loosely crumble it up.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water has come to a boil, add the pasta. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Then drain the pasta and set aside.
• As soon as you put the water on the boil, start to prepare the rest of this dish. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and sauté. After 2 minutes, add the sausage and red pepper flakes. For a mild spice add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, or add more for extra spice.
• Brown the sausage, while using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces.
• Once the sausage has browned, add the garlic, crushed tomatoes, and cream. Stir together. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the drained pasta to the sauce, along with the spinach (I tear it up as I add it in). Let the pasta and spinach simmer in the sauce for 2 minutes over medium heat. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan.

TAGLIATELLE SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in hot water for 10-15 minutes. Drain and reserve mushroom liquor. Chop rehydrated mushrooms into 1/4" pieces.
• Remove stems from parsley. Dice leaves and set aside.
• Place fresh sliced mushrooms in a pan and cook over medium heat with no added fat. Allow mushrooms to brown, stirring occasionally. When nicely colored, add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil along with the rehydrated porcini mushrooms. Transfer to bowl.
• Add sausage to the pan and cook until brown and crumbled.
• Turn off heat until you're ready to add the pasta to the pot. (This allows you to get part of your meal prepared ahead of time!)
• Bring 6 quarts of water to boil in a large stock pot. Transfer freshly made tagliatelle pasta to the boiling water and boil for 1 to 3 minutes. Fresh pasta takes substantially less time to cook than dried pasta.
• When you begin cooking the pasta, add parsley and garlic to the pan of sausage along with the mushrooms and return to heat.
• Add a walnut sized piece of butter (that's Carmelita's phrase -- let's say a tablespoon or two!) and the reserved liquid from the porcini mushrooms to the pan. Allow to simmer for a minute or two.
• Drain the pasta, toss with the mushroom sauce, and serve.

BOW TIE FARFALLE PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOMS

• Serve and enjoy!

FARFALLE WITH SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cut the sausages into bite size pieces, using scissors. This is easier to do than using a knife, because scissors do not squish the sausage. In a large frying pan, cook the sausage in oil and butter over medium heat until well browned. Set aside.
• In the same frying pan, saute the onion and garlic until they are soft and translucent. Add the peppers and cook until the vegetables are tender.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and continue to stir fry until the mushrooms have release their moisture and are soft. Add the salt and pepper and stir the spices in well.
• Measure out the farfalle (bowtie pasta) and bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta according to the package direction.
• Meanwhile, add the wine or broth and the sausages to the vegetable mix in the frying pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the cream and cheese. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens.
• Drain the pasta. In a large bowl combine the sausage mixture and pasta. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley (if desired).

FARFALLE WITH TURKEY SAUSAGE, PEAS AND MUSHROOMS

Saute until all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the peas and saute for 4 minutes. Return the meat to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• When the pot of water has come to a boil, add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander. Return pasta to the pot and add the meat mixture. Combine thoroughly and gently cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Drizzle in remaining olive oil. If the mixture is dry, do not hesitate to use more olive oil if necessary. Check the seasoning. Turn off the heat and add the grated cheese. Stir well and serve in large bowl.
