Savory Sausage Tomato Pasta Recipe

A comforting dish that combines the rich, natural flavors of savory Italian sausage and velvety tomato paste. The sausage is cooked to perfection, its fat rendered to create a luscious roux that forms the base of a smooth, full-bodied sauce. Delicately balanced with a hint of aromatics, including garlic zested into a silky paste for an even, subtle flavor, the sauce coats every strand of seasoned al dente angel hair pasta. This dish offers a harmonious blend of rich sausage undertones, subtle tomato sweetness, and a velvety finish that spreads effortlessly across every bite.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water.
- 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. Do not drain the sausage fat—it’s the base of the roux.
- 3
Add the diced red onion and zested garlic paste (or minced garlic). Sauté until softened and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes.
- 4
Stir in the tomato paste and let it brown slightly with the sausage and onions, about 2-3 minutes, to deepen the flavor.
- 5
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to form a roux. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- 6
Slowly add water, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Adjust the water to reach your desired consistency.
- 7
Season with onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, Creole seasoning, and parsley. Adjust salt to taste.
- 8
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
- 9
Cook the pasta according to the box instructions for al dente texture.
- 10
Drain the pasta and immediately season it while still warm: add black pepper, garlic powder, parsley, margarine or butter, and 3 ice cubes. Toss until the butter melts and the pasta is evenly coated. Adjust salt to taste.
- 11
Assemble the Dish:
1. Plate the seasoned pasta and generously ladle the sausage tomato sauce over the top.
2. Toss the pasta lightly or serve with the sauce layered on top for a restaurant-style presentation.
3. Garnish with extra parsley or grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

This recipe is a variation on puttanesca, with the anchovy swapped out for Italian sausage. I used spaghetti, but this chunky sauce works just as well with a wide noodle like pappardelle. Robert Gonzal -

Basic Tomato Pasta Basic Tomato Pasta
A simply flavored sauce that our family never gets tired of.Herb selection basics:Basil and parsley have a fresh flavor that goes with almost everything. Use bay leaf and celery for simmered dishes. Use rosemary and nutmeg for meat dishes. Oregano is great for seafood. Change it up and find your best combination of seasonings and spices!More variation examples:Increase the chili pepper to make arrabiata sauce.Add canned tuna and capers, and use oregano instead of basil to make pasta al tonno e pomodoro.Add cubed potatoes to make paste e patate.Add pancetta (or bacon and black olives).You can also add deep fried eggplant or other vegetables as you like.

Slow Cooker Tomato Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage Slow Cooker Tomato Pasta Sauce with Italian Sausage
I develop recipes based on what I have on hand when I make them, so if you don't happen to have all the ingredients in my recipe, there's almost always some kind of reasonable and accessible substitute.For instance - not everyone has fresh parsley on hand all the time (nor do I). A smaller quantity of dried parsley would work in lieu, of course, as would, say, 2 to 3 teaspoons of dried Italian herb mix in lieu of all the herbs I listed.Some of the ingredient choices were quite deliberate - for instance, ketchup to bring that developed sweetness that's hard to achieve on a low slow cooker setting, fish sauce and Worcestershire to intensify the umami and give the sauce more depth of flavor, and stock to bring more richness, thickness and body than would water.But if you don't have fish sauce, it's fine to just put a little more salt (like maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a teaspoon). Even better to throw in a Tablespoon or two of a grated dry cheese like Parm, Romano, Asiago, or Manchego - here's a perfect use for the rinds! All the better to give the sauce the same kind of complexity and depth of flavor you would get from the funk of fermented fish sauce.So many options I couldn't possibly go into all of them now, but you get the idea... x -
