Mild Italian Sausage and Jar Pesto make this quick recipe tops. This sauce has the flavor and texture that I really enjoy and can't find in any jar sauces. Plus it's quick and easy. An easy variation on this recipe is to add a cup or so of half and half or heavy cream at the end to make a wonderful vodka cream sauce. Ingredients:
1 lb italian sausage (sweet or mild, casing removed) |
1 medium onion, diced into coin-sized pieces |
1 (28 ounce) can san marzano tomatoes (crushed) |
2 (16 ounce) cans san marzano tomatoes (diced) |
3 tablespoons garlic (minced, i add more sometimes xd) |
3 tablespoons pesto sauce (coarse chopped is best, not the kind that looks like a paste.) |
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) |
1/4 cup vodka (optional, but recommended) |
1 lb pasta (cooked) |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large pot, cook crumbled Italtian Sausage over med heat.
2. Once almost done, add Onions and cook for 5 minutes or until translucent then add Vodka.
3. Add Garlic, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Red Pepper Flakes and Pesto and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add a splash of Olive Oil and serve over your favorite Pasta with Parmasean Cheese.
