Pasta Fra Diavlo

Use any meat you choose. Leave off crushed red peppers if you don't want it spicy.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

1. Add 1 tsp of olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add smoked sausage slices in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until bottom sides are browned. Flip and cook the other sides until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside, placing onto a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat this process until all of the sausage is cooked. (I browned it all in two batches, so I used 2 tsp of olive oil for this part of the recipe).

Step 2

2. Once last batch of sausage is removed from the skillet, increase heat to medium-high heat and add 3 tbsp olive oil to skillet, along with the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir around and let the garlic and pepper cook for a minute or so and become fragrant.

Step 3

3. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, sriracha, oregano, and salt, sugar and stir. Let tomato mixture come to a simmer,l stirring every once in a while, until the sauce has thickened a bit. This will take around 15-18 minutes.

Step 4

4. While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook according to package directions (for me this was 10 minutes or so). Once finished cooking, drain and add spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce (see note).

Step 5

Along with the cooked spaghetti, add browned smoked sausage, parsley, and basil and stir so that the sauce coats the spaghetti and sausage evenly.

Step 6

I didn’t have crushed tomatoes, so I put 2 14.5 oz cans of petite diced tomatoes in the food processor.
