Pasta Goodfellas
Ingredients
- 3 oz fresh Sausage meat – out of casing (#240000)
- 3 oz fresh Chicken, diced into 6 pieces and lightly floured (#260456)
- 2 tsp. sliced Garlic (#340051)
- Bellissimo Extra Virgin Olive Oil (#280390)
- about 2 oz White Wine
- 3 oz Tomato Strips (#401050)
- 3 oz Pasta Sauce, using Bellissimo Tomatoes and a basic onion/garlic/basil recipe
- 1 cup Baby Spinach
- 8 whole silver-dollar Mushrooms, lightly blanched
- 8 oz (cooked weight) Bellissimo Rigatoni, al dente (#310012)
- 1 oz of freshly grated Pecorino Romano Cheese (#190345)
Directions
- Heat the oil, add sausage and floured chicken. Lightly brown both sides, then add the garlic just before they are almost cooked. (You never want to burn the garlic.)
- Deglaze with a splash of white wine. Toss in the tomato strips, hit them with some salt so that they bleed nicely for a minute. Add the mushrooms, spinach (wilt and toss), and pasta sauce. Add the pasta and grated cheese, and toss well.
- Place in a large bowl, garnish with basil sprig in middle and parsley and grated cheese around the edges.
- A nice glass of Burgundy provides the perfect complement for this dish.
