Italian Sausage Curry

Italian Sausage Curry has an irreverent vibe to it. While using Italian sausage in an Indian curry might seem unusual, it yields wonderful results.  Savory and not-too-spicy, Italian Sausage Curry is delicious as is, over rice or with naan on the side.  Take your dinner international with either Sicilian Orange Salad or Greek Cucumber Tomato Salad as a starter followed by Italian Sausage Curry as your main course.

Beef and Sausage Ragu

Beef and Sausage Ragù is a zesty, hearty sauce.  I created it to serve with bucatini, which was my late father’s favorite pasta; it’s also great with baked macaroni made with ziti, penne or rigatoni.  This recipe makes quite a lot of sauce.  If you’re not using all of it at once, portion out the remaining Beef and Sausage Ragù into containers and freeze for future use within a month.  Start with Breaded Cauliflower followed by your main course of Beef and Sausage Ragù paired with a Chianti for a real Italian dinner.

Grilled Italian Sausage and Peppers Two Ways

Grilled Italian Sausage and Peppers Two Ways offers two crowd pleasing ways to serve these favorites.

Growing up in an Italian-American family in New Jersey, Italian sausage and peppers was a favorite and familiar summertime meal, whether from the backyard barbeque grill at Vito’s grandparents’ house or from one of the innumerable kiosk restaurants rising from or lining the boardwalk at seaside resorts “down the shore”, no tables, just counters with bar stools to “eat it there or take away somewhere”.  Regardless of the venue, Italian sausage and peppers never failed to satisfy. 

We have always preferred the grill to the griddle for cooking sausages and peppers; the slightly smoky and charred exteriors of the sausage links and peppers pieces yielding to juicy, flavor-bursting interiors upon biting into them.  Here, we’ve prepared grilled Italian sausage and peppers two ways; the classic on a roll topped with melting provolone and mozzarella cheeses and grilled pepper strips and an alternative preparation with the sausages sliced into thin rounds and combined with the grilled pepper strips, then all mixed into quick tomato sauce with pasta.  Either way, you will surely be satisfied. Enjoy!
