SERVES
1
  • 1 pound of dried pasta (spaghetti, bucatini, your choice)
  • 2 small cans of anchovy filet (in oil)
  • ½ cup of olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup of pasta water
  • ½ cup of chopped Parsley
  • red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • grated Parmigiano cheese (to taste)
  • 1 cup white wine (optional)
  • In a medium-size saucepan, pour 1/2 cup of olive oil and put it over medium heat.
  • Finely chop the garlic and put it into the oil, cook for three minutes on low heat. Stir to make sure they don’t burn. Add red pepper flakes according to your taste. Cook in the garlic and olive oil mixture for two minutes.
  • ­Add two cans of anchovy filets and oil. 2 small tin/can of anchovy per pound of pasta. Smash them up while they are coking in the oil. Make sure that they are finely emulsified. (Add 1 cup white wine to sauce if you’d like.)
  • While cooking the anchovy sauce, start cooking the pasta in a salted water until it is al dente. Remember the pasta is going to cook again in the olive oil/anchovy mixture. Once your pasta has been cooked to your satisfaction, remove from heat and prepare to strain.
  • Strain pasta, saving one cup of pasta water for later. Return pasta to the empty pot and prepare to add the anchovy sauce.
  • Using a ladle, spoon the anchovy sauce onto the pasta and keep stirring until the pasta is coated. (If the sauce is too thick, slowly add some pasta water to thin it out. Be careful not to overwater.)
  • Toss in chopped parsley and then add the grated Parmigiano cheese, stirring to combine.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl, top with anchovy filets, parsley and cheese.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Cheesy Baked Pasta & Sausage

Share This Recipe:

PREP

COOK
15
SERVES
1
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¾ pound bulk hot or mild Italian sausage
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely crushed
  • Pinch of red-pepper flakes
  • 1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes w/ juices
  • 1 (14-ounce) can crushed / strained tomatoes
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Kosher salt
  • 12 ounces dried pasta
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cubed
  • 6 ounces whole-milk ricotta
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • ¼ cup basil leaves
  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Crumble sausage into skillet, using a spoon to break it into small pieces. Cook until starting to brown, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook another 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in whole tomatoes and their juice, using a knife to break them up. Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, oregano, fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes (if using), and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  3. Pluck out the bay leaves. Stir in pasta and 1 cup water and return to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
  4. Remove from heat, and fold in about a third of the ricotta. Top pasta with remaining mozzarella and dollops of ricotta. Sprinkle with Parmesan, then transfer to oven. Bake until pasta is tender when poked with a fork, and cheese is bubbly and lightly golden, 18 to 22 minutes. (If you’d like a more deeply browned topping, run the pan under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes.)
  5. Top with basil, plenty of black pepper, and more Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy!
