Ina Garten Sausage Orecchiette Broccoli Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prick the sausages with a fork and place them on a sheet pan. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until just cooked through. Slice 1/2 inch thick and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Add the sausage slices and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pieces are browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the red wine, tomato paste, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and let the mixture simmer over low heat while you prepare the pasta and broccoli.
• Bring a very large pot half filled with water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the pasta and cook for 9 minutes exactly. While the pasta is cooking, trim the broccoli rabe to just below the leaves and discard the stems. Cut the leafy part of the broccoli rabe crosswise in 2-inch pieces. When the pasta has cooked for 9 minutes, add the broccoli rabe to the pasta and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain in a large colander, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, and add the pasta and broccoli to the pot with the tomato and sausage mixture. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon of salt. If the pasta seems dry, add some of the reserved cooking liquid. Taste for seasonings, and serve hot with extra Parmesan on the side.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook pasta as package directs.
• Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
• Meanwhile, cook sausage in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until no longer pink.
• If necessary, break large pieces apart with a wooden spoon.
• Add mushrooms and cook an additional 5 minutes.
• Pour in wine, reserved pasta water and black pepper.
• Stir in basil.
• Remove from heat; toss with pasta and cheese.
• Note: For perfect pasta every time, for 1 pound of dried pasta, bring at least 6 quarts of salted water to a boil.
• Add all of the pasta.
• With wooden spoon, stir once or twice to prevent sticking.
• Check at suggested time; if cooked properly, there will be no white inside.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook 1-2 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half., Stir in broccoli and tomatoes. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 4-6 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain pasta; add to skillet and toss to coat. Serve with cheese.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Strain the broccoli rabe, reserving all the cooking liquid. Set the broccoli rabe aside. Cook the orecchiette in the same pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over a medium flame. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until the sausage is brown and juices form, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli rabe and toss to coat. Add the pasta and enough reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten. Stir the Parmesan cheese, salt to taste, and pepper into the pasta mixture. Transfer to pasta bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large Saute Pan up to medium heat. Place in the EVOO, once it starts to dance, place in the garlic and anchovies. Combine together, being careful not to burn the garlic, should only take a few minutes. Keep Stirring. Add in the loose Sausage and fennel, continue stirring till the sausage is browned. Turn to low and hold.
• While the Sausage is cooking, add the salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Add in the Orecchiette, set the timer for 5 minutes. Prep the broccoli rabe to small 1.5"x1.5" cuts. When the timer is up for the Pasta, add in the broccoli rabe and cook for 5 additional minutes. When pasta & broccoli are cooked, pull a cup of the water and save (it might be used in the next step).
• Turn the Sausage mixture back up to a medium heat. Drain the Pasta and Broccoli, add it to the Saute Pan and stir in with the Sausage (add in the water a little at a time to keep mixture moist). Burn-off the liquid after a few minutes (while turning the mixture) and add and cut in the Feta.
