Spicy Sausage Sauce

October 28, 2015 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

Spicy sausage sauce

It has been my foodie dream to learn about sauces. When I found 400 Sauces-Dips Dressings Salsas at a thrift store, I could not wait to start testing out the recipes and truly learn all about sauce-making.

Do not go light on the spiciness of this recipe. It is a very simple and basic sauce and will need that extra bite from the heat. Add what you think you would be comfortable with and enjoy!

The Recipe

Spicy Sausage Sauce

I should have used the spicy salami but I found one that was completely beef but not spicy so I went with that instead.

Also, I used a large 28 oz can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh. 

The Ingredients

Spicy Sausage Sauce

You will need: 300 g/11 oz dried tortiglioni pasta, 1 finely chopped onion, 1 finely chopped celery stick, 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 fresh red chili, deseeded…

Spicy Sausage Sauce

… 1 large 28 oz can of peeled and chopped tomatoes, drained, 2 tbsp tomato puree…

… 2/3 cup red wine, 1 tsp sugar, 175 g/6 oz spicy salami, 2 tbsp chopped parlsey and freshly grated Parmesan.

The Cooking

Spicy Sausage Sauce

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot and add onion, celery, garlic and chili. I just used half of a Thai chili I had but next time I would use more. Cook gently, stirring frequently until softened, about 10 minutes.

Add tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, sugar and season to taste.

Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes. I then removed my chili.

If it gets too thick, add some water. While this is cooking away, cook your pasta. When pasta is ready, add your chopped salami to the sauce.

Heat through and season to taste.

Drain your pasta and toss with some of the sauce.

Then add more sauce! Also add some chopped flat leaf parsley and freshly grated Parmesan.

Oh yeah! Wish mine had more heat and you definitely need to season properly to get the right balance but this was a lovely and easy Italian sauce to make.

I can not wait to dive into more sauces! Is there anything better than noodles and sauce? I don’t think so!

    Looks absolutely delish !
    Did you think of adding some dried crushed chili to make up for them not being in the sausage you used . I’d say for this recipe a !/2 tsp. would be good .

      I don’t have any dried chilies but I might add some Sriracha in my leftovers! But yes, that is a good substitute for this recipe and probably more traditional, thanks Wayne!
