Share:
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound paccheri pasta
- 1 pound Italian sausage ground
- 1 ounce butter beans canned
- 1/4 cup tomatoes sun dried
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 3/8 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes
- 1/2 cup pasta water
Instructions
- Cook the paccheri pasta to 'al dente' in salted (2 Tbsp kosher salt per gallon) water. Before draining reserve 2 cups of pasta water. Finely chop a 1/4 cup of fresh parsley. Also, rough chop 4 cloves of garlic and a 1/4 cup of sun dried tomatoes.
- While pasta is cooking, in a large pan saute the ground sausage in 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Break apart any large pieces with a wooden spoon. When sausage is fully cooked (15-20 minutes), remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add a 1/4 cup of olive oil and saute garlic until golden (about 2 minutes). Add the sun dried tomatoes and chili flakes to the pan and let cook for 1 minute.
- Add a 1/2 cup of pasta water and scrape any brown bits off the pan bottom with a wooden spoon. Return the sausage to the pan and add the rinsed butter beans.
- Add the paccheri pasta and mix thoroughly to combine. Let the pasta cook for 1 minute to heat through and absorb the sauce. Taste test and adjust salt and/or chili flakes if required. If the pasta is too dry add a couple ounces more of the reserved pasta water.
- Remove the pan from the stove, add the parsley and a big drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to substitute any tubular sized pasta.
- No extra salt was added, adjust according to taste.
- Chili flakes are optional.
- A few ounces of the extra pasta water can be used to thin out the pasta sauce if necessary.
