ingredients
- 2 (28 ounce) cans Tuttorosso Peeled Plum Tomatoes
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
- 1 onion, halved
- 2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 pound spicy pork sausage
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed
- 8 cups mixed mushrooms, sliced `
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed or chopped
- 1 pound gluten free spaghetti, or bucatini, cooked according to package directions
- Parmesan, for garnish
Method
Step 1
In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, combine the canned tomatoes, butter onion halves and 1 teaspoon salt.
Step 2
Stirring occasionally, simmer for an hour, breaking up the tomatoes into pieces with a wooden spoon as they cook and break down. After an hour, remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3
Then remove the onion halves, storing for future use. Transfer the tomato mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add salt to taste. Return the blended tomatoes to the Dutch oven. Set aside. (This can be done a day ahead.)
Step 4
In a large sauté pan, over medium high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Step 5
Using your hands, break the sausage into nice size chunks and add to the pan. Browning evenly on all sides, cook until juicy and beginning to caramelize, about 5 minutes total.
Step 6
Reserving the fat and oil in the pan, use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage and set aside.
Step 7
If needed, add more oil to the pan. Add 4 cups of the sliced mushrooms and 1 tsp salt, cooking and stirring until brown, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove and set aside. Add more oil if needed and repeat for the remaining 4 cups of mushrooms.
Step 8
Add the sausage and mushrooms to the Dutch oven and stir to combine. Serve on top of the pasta and garnish with parmesan.
