Italian Sausage #3
So far, this one is the favorite in the series, since we are cabbage lovers here at the manor. It's another quick and easy recipe. Start to finish in just 20 minutes. Simple, yet glorious favors and textures here.
Brown 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed, (I used turkey sausage) in a large skillet, remove. Add olive oil, 6 cups thinly sliced cabbage, and 3 sliced shallots to skillet; cook over medium heat for 6 minutes. Add 3/4 cup chicken broth and simmer until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Toss with 1/2 pound cooked fettuccine, the sausage, chives, salt and fresh ground pepper. Easy peasy and dee-lish.
Note: To remove the casings from the sausage, just cut down the length of the raw links with a pairing knife, remove the meat, and discard the casings.

Delicious!! It makes me mouth water! Simple entrees are the best!
ReplyDeleteSounds terrific -- a slightly Asian take on Italian sausage!
ReplyDeleteCabbage lover here as well and I've never once thought to pair it with pasta. Sounds great. You got a new banner while I was away, very nice. I thought about your ball while I was touring a Vanderbilt summer house in Newport.
ReplyDeleteI often remove the casings from sausage to make tomato sauce for pasta, or in quick dishes similar to this. It was something I learned from my MIL, so simple and yet adds another option to cooking.
ReplyDeleteand while I don't eat it ... I certainly love cooking for people .
and I can't shake the image of you in that coat and boots ... elegantly gorgeous.
Where do I buy 'Chicken Brother'?
ReplyDeleteYou're making me hungry for dinner at 8 o'clock in the morning. Looks sooooo good.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love that!!!
ReplyDeleteDid I type chicken brother? Oh, brother!
ReplyDeleteAdded to my file Willow, Thanks...brother and all!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can find chicken brother in the grocery aisle right next to chicken daddy.
ReplyDeleteWill try this! Looks great. I keep making your other cabbage recipe from a few years ago. We don't eat meat but we eat poultry so turkey sausage is a staple here.
ReplyDeleteSounds very tasty, we are cabbage lovers too, my husband and I. I'll have to wait for him to return from his trip to make this one. And so quick.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your 'carpet tunnel syndrome' didn't affect your cooking hand!

ReplyDeleteSorry I have sticky keys and it looks like I miss spell.

Derrick, I still can't lift much of anything with it. Gimpy hand.
ReplyDeleteI love these quick and simple recipes Willow.
ReplyDeleteWe love cabbage at my house, too. What a perfect autumn supper. I'm looking forward to trying it.
ReplyDeletenow that sounds like a meal that'll put hair on your chest!!
ReplyDeletesounds fabulous willow -- will try this week. and btw your salmon + brown sugar/chili pepper recipe has already become a family favorite.
Another great sausage recipe. Looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice and almost chilly today in DC - I'm thinking chicken pot pie ... though this looks perfect, too.
ReplyDeleteWillow,
ReplyDeleteYummy!!! my mouth is watering!

ReplyDeleteI think I just found what I'm cooking for dinner tonight. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh, Reya, now I am craving a chicken pie! Oh, yeah!
ReplyDeleteHey willow, this is an unrelated comment but you have a knack for writing and I am hosting a short story contest this year (With a Kindle as grand prize) Hope you can enter. :)

oh my - i'm so hungry now! this sounds fantastic and looks fantastic and i think i have to stop blogging and prepare some dinner instead...
ReplyDeleteI just know I am going to love this!
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful willow. Have you ever tried slicing chestnut mushrooms and mixing them with grated parmesan, parsley (chopped) and lemon juice and leaving to marinate (no cooking - leave them raw) and then mixing with pasta freshly cooked and hot. That is delicious too and very healthy.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, and I love cabbage too! If only the internet let you smell photos...
ReplyDeleteP.S. I wore woolly socks today :D
Weaver, my mouth is watering just thinking of this! I adore both mushrooms and pasta. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteAoife, I've got my woollies on today, as well!
By the way, Weaver, I had to google "chestnut mushrooms" and found they are what we commonly call "white button" mushrooms. I must admit, chestnut mushrooms sound much more exotic.
ReplyDeletethis one sounds great. i admit, i am now addicted to turkey italian sausage! much better than the chicken sausage i had been buying.
ReplyDeleteThat photo of the pasta and sausage looks beautiful. I will definitely try that recipe. By the way, we in the North East do bring in certain plants for the winter. Some are too beautiful after vacationing all summer outdoors to toss. I have kept the Rex Begonias for years that way. They make excellent container plants if you have cement pots and grow into huge deep red mounds. In January, indoors, the produce a 3-4 foot spike with tiny pink flowers! It's worth lugging them up the stairs!
ReplyDeleteLori, I have a whole patio of plants that I will very soon be dragging inside! They are so beautiful, I can't bear to see them freeze. It looks like a jungle in here by late October!
ReplyDeleteWillow,
ReplyDeleteI'm finding myself loving your love for sausage!
(Your food looks delicious!)

Hi Willow, the sausage is fast becoming a staple here too. After reading your recipe blog, I bought some, and used it in lasagne.
ReplyDeleteAdding cabbage to my shopping list, sounds great!
Oooo I too am a cabbage person! This looks super perfect. Extra perfect, even.
ReplyDeleteThis does look excellent and something I can do after work and quick!
ReplyDeleteWillow you always make me hungry when i stop by with the food and your lovely words :)
ReplyDeleteLove this recipe...any recipe that ends in easy-peasy and dee-lish, is my kind of recipe!

ReplyDeleteI shall try this! Maybe this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWe are cabbage lovers here in Arcadia too so I will be trying this out for sure...Sausage is like bacon...it makes everything taste good:)
ReplyDeleteAll you need is a slice of brown bread and a glass of milk and you have an Oslo meal. Far too good for the pigeons (can you imagine all those people reading this comment and thinking "what on earth is he prattling on about now?")
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I was just telling Bach this morning that the fabulous cooking gene runs in your family : ) I've never had that talent and really admire it. YUM!
ReplyDeleteyum sounds yummy - i definitely will be making this - as cabbage lovers we seem to be the recipients of all the cabbage our friends who aren't cabbage lovers get in their csa's!
ReplyDeletei can always use a creative way of cooking cabbage.
Yum. Great pairings.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds WONDERFUL!!!!!! Can't wait to try it!
