Equipment
- 3.5 quart braiser or 12-inch skillet with lid (I used my 3.5 qt. Le Creuset Braiser.)
Ingredients
- 2 TBS Olive Oil
- 1 lb Italian Pork Sausage
- ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 4 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1 TBS Italian Seasoning Blend
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 8 oz Farfalle Pasta
- 28 oz Crushed Tomatoes with Basil
- 1 ⅔ c Water
- 15 oz Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese divided, room temperature
- 2 oz Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated divided, room temperature
- 8 oz Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese, freshly grated room temperature
- ¼ c Fresh Basil half minced
Instructions
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet, with a lid, over medium heat. Then, add Italian sausage and cook for about five minutes, stirring frequently breaking the pieces up, until no longer pink.
- Then, stir in red pepper flakes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, freshly ground pepper, and Kosher salt. Cook for about a minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Sprinkle the farfalle pasta in a single layer on top of the sausage mixture. Pour in the crushed tomatoes with basil and water, DO NOT stir. Place the lid on the pan and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for five minutes.
- After five minutes, stir the mixture. Replace lid and cook for an additional 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove pan from the heat. Stir in half of the freshly grated parmesan and ricotta cheeses, until well incorporated with the tomato sauce.
- Dollop the remaining ricotta on top and gently spread it slightly flat. Top with remaining freshly grated parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Place the lid back on the pan for about five minutes to melt the cheeses.
- Top with a few whole basil leaves and a sprinkle of minced basil. Serve with a garden salad and some breadsticks.
- Yield 6 servings
