Italian Sausage What is something else that I can make for dinner. Different than red sauce or peppers with Sausage.?

Right now, all types of squash is abundant. You could stuff zucchini squash with a sausage stuffing.

Make your typical sausage meat sauce (red=tomato or white=cream sauce), after cooking the sauce, make stuffing by adding croutons and 1/2 inch pieces of your favorite cheese. Cut zucchini in half, scoop out some of the veggie meat and stuff with the sausage stuffing. Bake for 40 minutes.

OR

Cook sausage, drain, add some parm cheese and cream cheese to create a somewhat dry stuffing.

Cut jalopeno peppers in half, stuff, bake for 20 mins on 325 degrees. These are surprisingly not spicy hot as long as you remove the pepper ribs and all the seeds. Use gloves and do not touch your eyes.

I use Italian sausage in many different recipes calling for sausage because it has a nice seasoning.

Try sauteeing it with onions and potatoes, have it in a sandwich like a hot dog, cut it up and throw it into omelets or quiches, use the ground sausage meat (take it out of the casing) in burgers-- you can mix it with chop meat.

Use it in stuffing.

Have any stew or soup recipes that call for sliced sausage? Brown the Italian sausage and use them.

Brown it, drain it, mix in some cream cheese and then stuff it into mushrooms or roasted peppers or any other kind of veggie.

It's pretty versatile.

I can't believe how awesome these answers are! I'm going to be humble and say that I'd probably just grill it and eat it with a knife and fork. When it comes to sausages, I'm that boring :) A weird thing I've been doing lately, though is using Sriracha hot sauce and BBQ sauce on pizza pockets, so maybe I'd try that as a condiment with wild rice or something, kind of like an east meets west meets mediterranean thing. I've got this fusion thing going on recently.

Manicotti. Put the Italian sausage in the red sauce. Use flat lasagna noodles as the manicotti & stuff them very full. Cook's Illustrated has a good basic recipe you can play with.

Meatballs! So good. Especially delish over spaghetti squash.

Or serve it up with sauerkraut, yukon gold potatoes, bay leaf, caraway seeds and black pepper. That works especially well in a crockpot.

You can add Italian sausage to sautéed chicken pieces and fried potatoes plus some hot cherry peppers. This dish is called Chicken Scarpariello. You can make Italian Sausage with Broccoli Rabe and Orcchietta. This is one of my favorite pasta dishes. Broccoli Rabe is a slightly bitter Italian version of broccoli so if you cannot get it or do not like it you can use regular broccoli or barely cooked baby spinach. Orcchietta is a pasta shaped like little ears. You can of course use any pasta you like.

Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1/3 cup plus 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup plain fine dried bread crumbs

2 Tbs. sea salt, plus more, to taste

1 1/2 lb. broccoli rabe, trimmed

1 lb. dried orecchiette

1/2 lb. Italian sweet fennel sausage, casings discarded and meat coarsely

chopped

4 large garlic cloves, minced

Pinch of red pepper flakes

1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions:

In a fry pan over medium-low heat, warm the 1 Tbs. olive oil. Add the bread crumbs and stir to coat them with the oil. Season lightly with salt and cook, stirring often, until the crumbs are an even, deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pour onto a plate and let cool.

Bring a large pot three-fourths full of water to a rolling boil and add the 2 Tbs. salt. Add the broccoli rabe and cook, testing often, until the stems are just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a wire-mesh skimmer, lift out the broccoli rabe into a sieve and cool it quickly under cold running water. Drain and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture. Chop coarsely and set aside.

Add the pasta to the boiling water, stir well and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, according to the package directions.

Meanwhile, in the fry pan over medium-low heat, warm the 1/3 cup olive oil. Add the sausage, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring and breaking up the sausage meat with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is browned, about 7 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe and stir to combine with the sausage. Cook until the broccoli rabe is hot throughout, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.

When the pasta is ready, scoop out and reserve about 2 ladlefuls of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the sausage mixture and the cheese and stir and toss well over low heat to combine, adjusting the consistency with some of the cooking water, if needed.

Divide the pasta among warmed plates or shallow bowls, top each portion with a sprinkle of the toasted bread crumbs and serve immediately. Pass the remaining bread crumbs at the table. Serves 4 to 6.
