one-pot creamy tomato parpadelle with spicy italian sausages and mushrooms

Recently I shared a post on how to cook Chicken Alfredo – chicken, pasta and sauce, all in one pot.

I was so happy with the results (and very little washing up afterwards), I was inspired to try cooking other one-pot pastas.

One of my favorite things to do is to buy sausages, cut them open and use the meat to cook various things. Since sausage meat is already seasoned (and mostly well-seasoned too!) it is fabulous in pasta dishes. 

Another thing that I really love is this parpadelle (my favorite pasta) dish they made (not sure if they still do) at Prego. The parpadelle was cooked in a creamy tomato sauce – the best of both worlds as far as I am concerned because it is not too creamy and not too sharp – with lobster.

Since lobsters are not something we eat at home on a regular basis, I decided to use sausage meat instead.

I think am absolutely positive that I have found one of my favorite pastas of all time.

Seriously.

Even the LAM (who makes a mean pasta himself) said HMMMM! when he tasted it.

And yes. This was cooked in ONE POT, people!

😀

Here’s how!

In a casserole, or you can also use a skillet, brown pancetta (or bacon) in a little olive oil.

Add the sausage meat and stir to break up the meat.

Add the minced garlic and stir to combine.

Add the mushrooms and saute for a minute.

Then add the chicken stock, chopped tomatoes and cream. Give everything a good stir.

Place the parpadelle into the pot and bring the liquid to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer, covered with a lid, until the pasta is tender. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Give the pasta a stir once in a while.

Turn off the heat. Add Parmesan cheese, chili flakes and black pepper. Toss until well-combined.

Sprinkle chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley and more chili flakes and/or black pepper and serve immediately.

I wish you could taste this. The thick parpadelle is perfect with the creamy tomato sauce and the flavors of the sausages has been distributed throughout the entire dish.

Don’t take my word for it. If you are a fan of creamy tomato sauce + pasta, go make this.

After all, you have only one pot to clean up afterwards!
