Ahhh…yet another recipe that’s a delightful blast from the past!

Your girl originally published this casarecce pasta recipe back in December 2016 and decided that it needed a nice little refresh just like I did with *this here* recipe. To be honest, it was quite a joy to go back and remake this old recipe. I got that giddy nerdy excited feeling all over again.

Not to mention, this one here is thee most popular pasta recipe on this website to date. That is, aside from my sausage and spinach stuffed shells, my chicken fettuccini with lemon cream sauce, and my veggie rigatoni recipes.

So, needless to say, I’m happy to update this post for you. Let’s be honest for a minute, most of us humans have jobs, busy calendar-filled lives, families with little ones, school, and other things going on that limit the amount of time that we have to prepare a really good meal. Trust me, I feel you.

Even though I am a recipe developer, one would think I have great food around me 24/7. But the reality is some days I walk in the door from work and a good ole peanut butter and jelly sammich is all I have the strength to make, ha! Shhhh, that’s just between us, mmkay.

In comes this one-pot casarecce pasta though. Ya’ll, it’s most surely an all around winner for those days when you want something quick but hearty and tasty. I’m certain when I say that this is one everyone will love.

There are simple ingredients like dried casarecce pasta noodles, ground Italian sausage, fire roasted tomatoes, and fresh basil. Everything makes this one outstanding dish. Oh, shall we not forget the sprinkling of cheese, too!

How To Make This Casarecce Pasta Recipe:

In a large dutch oven or pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Then add chopped onions and garlic and sautรฉ until onions are translucent and garlic is fragrant.

Next, add in ground Italian sausage. With a wooden spoon, break up sausage into crumbles and continue to stir until all sausage is completely browned and cooked through.

Tell Me A Little More…

You’ll then pour the broth into pot, stir, and then add in uncooked casarecce pasta. There is no need to separately cook pasta as the pasta cooks in the same pot with everything else. Let cook for about 15 minutes or until pasta noodles are cooked through. Most of the broth will be absorbed by the pasta but a bit will be left creating a delicious savory sauce combined with all the other ingredients!

Lastly add in fire roasted tomatoes, fresh basil, and cheese then give everything another stir. Serve in bowls, top with cheese, and enjoy!

Until next time…love and butter,

Q.

    This was very good. Used dry basil and added with the garlic. I added the tomatoes with their juice to the broth as I thought the pasta needed more liquid. I brought it all to a boil and reduced to a slight boil for about 12 min. For the last three minutes I covered the pot, the pasta was perfect.
