I wanted an easy recipe for pasta, and chanced upon this one at epicurious.com. I made it with a couple of modifications (i.e. using peas instead of fava beans and canned tomatoes) and the results were surprisingly good. I'd definitely make it again.
Pasta with sausage & peas
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 lb Italian sausage, loose
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 large can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup peas
- salt & pepper
- 1 pckg pasta
- grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
Heat the oil on the sauce pan over medium-low heat and add the chopped onion. Saute for a few minutes until soft and golden. Add the garlic and saute for a minute. Add the sausage, breaking any large clumps, and cook until browned. Add the white wine and let boil for a minute. Add the diced tomatoes and peas, mix and let cook for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile boil pasta.
Serve cook pasta with sauce and grated cheese.
