Patti’s Pasta Casalinga
Prep time 30-45 minutes serves 5-6
½ lb Fortuna’s sweet or hot Italian Sausage - casing removed 2-3 Tbls. Olive Oil
3-4 chopped cloves of garlic 2 whole scallions -sliced
2 - 28 oz cans of whole plum tomatoes 1 cup fresh or frozen peas{drained}
1 - 12oz can Artichoke Hearts in water- rinsed and drained 1 lb fresh Pasta of your choice
¼ lb of each of the following cut ¼” think then julienne: Fortuna’s Soupy, Pepperoni, Coppa and a good Parma Proscuittio
Grated Parmesan or Romano Pecorino cheese to taste
~It a nice deep sauté pan add olive oil and fresh garlic & add Italian sausage and stir until frequently until sausage is just about fully cooked {about 5-10 minutes on med. Heat}
~ Add other meats and brown a bit more- another few minutes just until all flavors are blended.
~ Add plum tomatoes and let simmer for another 10 minutes- again to all flavors enhanced
~ Add Artichoke hearts, Scallions and Peas heat until fully warmed
Meanwhile platter your pasta of choice {I love it with Fortuna’s Fettuccine}, then ladle fresh meat sauce on top and grated cheese and serve!
This sauce is best if made ahead and let sit a few hours in refrigerator, then reheated or make ahead and freeze.
