Time 2h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 sweet Italian pepper, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
1 zucchini, sliced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (14 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon tomato paste, or more as needed
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chopped dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage and garlic in hot oil until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage and garlic to a plate using a slotted spoon, leaving any drippings in the saucepan.
  • Saute onion, green pepper, sweet pepper, and salt in the same saucepan until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and continue cooking until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes more. Drain off any excess liquid.
  • Stir sausage, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, rosemary, parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes into onion-zucchini mixture. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors blend and sauce is thickened, about 2 hours.

Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     30-Minute Meals

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed (I used hot but sweet Italian sausage may be substituted)
2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, as desired
3 to 5 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 teaspoon oregano, optional
one 14.5-ounce can petite diced tomatoes (I used Hunt's no-salt added, tomato basil oregano flavor)
2 1/2 cups water
2 cups penne pasta (another small-shaped pasta may be substituted)
1/4 cup sour cream
2/3 to 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, chiffonaded
freshly ground black pepper, to taste if desired

Steps:

  • To a large skillet at least 4-inches deep or large pot, add the sausage, 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil if desired, and brown sausage over medium high heat. Crumble sausage as it cooks; do not drain.
  • Add the garlic, optional oregano, stir, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir nearly constantly.
  • Add the tomatoes, water, pasta, stir, cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until pasta is al dente and the water has incorporated. Stir once midway through cooking, paying attention to the pasta on the bottom of the skillet so it doesn't stick (this is why I recommend olive oil, even with sausage).
  • Turn off the heat, add the sour cream, and stir to combine.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
  • Add the basil, pepper if desired (I didn't need to add salt), and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
