PASTA RUSTICA WITH CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND THREE CHEESES



Pasta Rustica With Chicken Sausage and Three Cheeses image

I made this very nice recipe for my aunt and myself from the Williams-Sonoma "Chicken" cookbook and we enjoyed it very much. I cheated and used stewed tomatoes because I was in a hurry and this seemed to work fine.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb chicken sausage, casings removed (can also use turkey sausage)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes in puree, tomatoes coarsely chopped and puree reserved
1 cup water
salt, to taste
1 lb penne (or other tube shaped pasta)
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups Fontina cheese, shredded (can also use mozzarella)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into bite-sized pieces with the side of a spoon, until the sausage loses its pink color, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir in the basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  • Add the tomatoes with their puree and the water and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly oil a shallow 3-quart (3-l) baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot three-fourths full of water to a boil. Salt the water, add the pasta, stir well, and cook until barely al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well.
  • In a large bowl, toss the pasta with the sauce, ricotta, and fontina cheese. Spread in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
  • Bake until the cheeses are melted and the tips of the pasta are crusty, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Serve hot.
