A simple pasta recipe. You can use any pasta. Ingredients:
13 ounces fusilli |
1 1/2 cups peeled tomatoes, drained |
1 cup fresh asiago cheese, in cubes |
1/4 cup sharp asiago cheese, grated |
4 ounces sweet italian sausage |
5 ounces asparagus, steamed |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
4 teaspoons chopped garlic |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
2 tablespoons butter |
olive oil |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Sweat the chopped onion and garlic in a pan with a little olive oil until translucent and then add the whole sausage. When well browned add the tomato paste, the drained peeled tomatoes, a pinch of salt and freshly grated pepper.
2. Bring the sauce to a boil and add 3/4 cup of hot water. When simmering, cover and let cook for about 40 minutes over a moderate flame.
3. Cook the pasta separately in a large pot of salted boiling water and drain it when it is still al dente, firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
4. Return the pasta to the pot and stir in the sauce, the steamed asparagus and the diced Asiago cheese. Pour into a buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with dabs of butter and the grated sharp Asiago cheese.
5. Place in a hot oven at 450°F for 15 minutes. Serve the pasta straight from the oven dish.
6. Serves 4.
