Spicy Sausage, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Artichokes & Spinach Pasta with Linguine — Culinary Seasons
Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe
Spicy sausage is a classic Italian flavor in many dishes. Here in the U.S. we can find some variety of sausage, sweet or hot in either link or ground bulk usually in 1 lb packages.
Substituting chicken or shrimp would be a great variation on the dish. If you still want that spice in your substitution of protein, just add a 1/4-1/2 tsp of chili flakes when sauteing the vegetables. If you really want a different spice there is a Cajun variation in the recipe.
Change up the Ingredients
This recipe can be used as a refrigerator roulette, what veggies do you need to use? Zucchini, broccoli, a jar of olives that has been floating around in the back of the fridge? (guilty on the last one) Just substitute what you have.
Prepare the Sauce Separate
In the recipe the Roasted Garlic Sauce is prepared in a separate pot. This way you can easily add it to the remaining sauteed ingredients without over cooking them.
The Roasted Garlic Sauce is great as a sauce for a vegetarian lasagna with white sauce.
Thicken the sauce with some cornstarch at the end, after you add the cheese, the sauce will not separate in the oven when the lasagna is baked.
Enjoy!

You can substitute Chicken for the Sausage if you would like. Add red chili flakes if you want to add a kick. Recipe Variation- Blackened Chicken – toss diced or sliced chicken in some blackening or cajun seasoning before you sear the chicken in the pan. The residual spice on the chicken and in the pan will make the roasted garlic cream sauce cajun spiced. It is a real interesting twist on the standard cream sauce pasta dish.
