Equipment

  • dutch oven or deep skillet
  • Meat spatula
  • Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 12 oz rigatoni
  • 1 lbs ground sausage I used turkey sausage
  • ½ white onion diced
  • 1 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 8 oz sliced white mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • ½ cup dry white wine I used Sav Blanc
  • ½ cup shredded Gruyere
  • 1.2 cup shaved parmesan
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Heat a deep, large skillet or dutch oven to medium-high heat. Add the noodles and beef broth and cook pasta for 12-15 minutes. It will be longer than package instructions since we are not boiling the liquid.

  • Before draining the noodles, save ½ cup of broth pasta water for the sauce. Drain the noodles and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, (keeping the same heat) add the ground sausage and cook until 80% cooked through.

  • Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Continue to sauté for a couple of minutes.
  • Once the sausage is cooked through and onions are translucent, add the minced garlic. Stir.
  • After 1-2 minutes, pour in the white wine to deglaze the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Turn down the stove to low heat. Stir fresh thyme and pinch of salt.
  • Fold in the cooked pasta and cheese (any Schitt's Creek fans out there :P). Allow a sauce to thicken a bit before removing from heat.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
If you’re using a really fatty sausage, you’ll want to drain the excess grease following step 3, as it will ruin the consistency of the sauce.
