Sausage Ragu Ragu Di Salsiccia Recipes

Steps:

• With the tip of a small, sharp knife, slit open the sausage casings. Crumble the meat into a wide, heavy skillet or Dutch oven and set over medium-low heat. If the meat is not rendering enough fat to coat the bottom of the pan as it begins to cook, add olive oil one tablespoon at a time until the meat is frying gently, not steaming. Sauté, breaking up any large chunks, until all the meat has turned opaque (do not let it brown), about 5 minutes.
• Add onion, carrot, celery and parsley and stir. Drizzle in more oil if the pan seems dry. Cook over very low heat, stirring often, until the vegetables have melted in the fat and are beginning to caramelize, and the meat is toasty brown. This may take as long as 40 minutes, but be patient: It is essential to the final flavors.
• Add tomatoes and their juice, breaking up the tomatoes with your hands or with the side of a spoon. Bring to a simmer, then add thyme and rosemary and let simmer, uncovered, until thickened and pan is almost dry, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Mix tomato paste with 1 cup hot water. Add to pan, reduce heat to very low, and continue cooking until the ragù is velvety and dark red, and the top glistens with oil, about 10 minutes more. Remove herb sprigs. Sprinkle black pepper over, stir and taste.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil pasta until just tender. Scoop out 2 cups cooking water, drain pasta and return to pot over low heat. Quickly add a ladleful of ragù, a splash of cooking water, stir well and let cook 1 minute. Taste for doneness. Repeat, adding more cooking water or ragù, or both, until pasta is cooked through and seasoned to your liking.
• Pour hot pasta water into a large serving bowl to heat it. Pour out the water and pour in the pasta. Top with remaining ragù, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately. Pass grated cheese at the table, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 7 mins. Add the garlic, chilli and rosemary, and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the tomatoes and sugar, and simmer for 20 mins.
• Heat the remaining oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Squeeze the sausagemeat from the skins and fry, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for 5-7 mins until golden. Add to the sauce with the milk and lemon zest, then simmer for a further 5 mins. To freeze, leave to cool completely and transfer to large freezerproof bags.
• Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain and toss with the sauce. Scatter over the parmesan and parsley leaves to serve.

Steps:

• Remove the sausages from their casings and break up into smaller pieces. Brown sausage, onions, salt and black pepper in a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the onions are almost translucent and the sausage almost browned, add the garlic and red peppers. Simmer until the sausage is all browned.
• Remove the whole tomatoes from the sauce with a spoon (reserve the sauce for another recipe) and squish them into the pan. I just used my hand. Add the oregano and simmer on low for about 45 minutes.
• Next add about a half pound of cooked pasta to the pan and stir it up for a few minutes so the pasta will absorb all the flavors. I used egg noodles but you can use your favorite pasta. I also topped it with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and warm Italian bread.
• Just a note: I kept hearing about "San Marzano" tomatoes on the cooking shows. I highly recommend them! The taste is distinctively different than regular whole tomatoes from a can. They say right on the can "Imported from Italy". I believe it! Try not to substitute them. It just wouldn't be the same. Enjoy!

• Decrease heat to low.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
