What You'll Need
- 1 lb short pasta (like penne or rigatoni)
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage meat (you could also use spicy or a combination)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or more if desired)
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3-4 roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped (a 24 oz. jar of Pastene roasted red peppers has 3)
- 1 - 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1/3 cup red wine (a good one you'd drink)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
How to Make It
Place 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saute pan with high sides (if you don't have one of these, use a pot) and cook the sausage meat - keep breaking it up with the back of your spoon while it cooks
Once that's cooked, set aside in a bowl
Add another tbsp of olive oil to the pan and saute the onions until they're translucent, 3-5 minutes
Add in the garlic and saute until fragrant
Next, toss in the chopped peppers and diced tomatoes and red wine
Season the mixture with the parsley, basil, sugar, salt and peppers
Raise the heat to bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes
Once the mixture is done simmering, transfer it to a blender or food processor (be careful - this will be hot!)
Puree the sauce and return it to the saute pan - taste it to see if it needs any additional salt or pepper
Add in the cream and Parmesan cheese and stir well
Return the sausage to the pan and at this point keep the sauce over low heat while you cook the pasta
Cook the pasta until it's al dente and then strain it and combine it with the sauce and 1/2 the mozzarella cheese
Pour the pasta into a large baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese
Bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes (if you're baking this immediately 20 minutes will be enough, if you're making it ahead bake for at least 30)
