Question by Opal: I am looking for a pasta sauce recipe to go with sausage.?
I want to make a pasta dish using hot buffalo sausages that my mother bought. I am not sure of a good recipe to go with it, however.

I’d prefer if it was a red sauce and was thinking maybe something a little bit sweet to counteract the spicyness in the sausage.

So does anyone have any good recipes they’d like to share?

Best answer:

Answer by snowbird552002
Try a sweet & sour sauce that will compliment the spiciness
1 large onion, chopped fine
1 can of peeled tomatoes
1 can of pineapple chunks
a small bunch of cilantro chopped fine
seasoning of salt.
Add a tablespoon of olive oil. saute the onions till transparent, add the can of tomatoes, add the pineapple chunks, and salt, keep stirring till the water of the tomatoes has evaporated, add a few tablespoons of the pineapple liquid and a teaspoon of either sugar or sugar substitute. Add the sausages now . let them seep in the liquid -taste this if its to your liking its fine , add the cilantro and switch off the stove. Add either sugar or salt as per taste.

  1. i see. well it definitely helps if you use “pasta sauce” such as Classico rather than plain tomato sauce or tomato paste :) thanks for trying 😀

  2. I tried cooking but it burned actually tomato sauce and it turned out sticky.. and it not really smooth… and i didnt caught up the time like i added the pasta and then i put the pan and i put the paste and then i forgot about the pasta and blah blah .. so thats my story

  3. also instead of raw onions, I recommend trying a “sautee” in the pan (cooked onions)

  4. aww, what happened?

  5. hi, if you use pasta tomato sauce it will taste better because it is already seasoned. if you use regular canned tomato sauce (not for pasta) you may want to add some fresh herbs such as basil, parsley and add some roasted garlic, onions, pepper, and salt. check online for “basic pasta sauce recipe” if you want to learn more!! cheers :)

  6. i failed -.-

  7. does the tomato sauce has to be pasta tomato sauce or can it be regular? please reply

  8. thank you :)

  9. Looks good Geoff !

  11. Hey Geoff! I use this recipe everyday and works great every time. Thank You So much!

  12. good to hear! thanks and glad you liked it :)

  13. Thanks for the oil in the water tip Geoff! I tried it today. Worked great!

  14. Marinara Sauce would be perfect
    Serves 6

    1/4 cup of olive oil
    4 cloves of garlic sliced in half
    1 35oz can of imported Italian tomatoes
    3 basil leaves, washed, patted dry and chopped
    1/2 teaspoon of oregano
    salt & pepper to taste

    1. Place garlic and olive oil in large sauce pan.
    2. Turn heat to medium and cook until garlic is soft and lightly browned.
    3. Crush the tomatoes and add with their juices.
    4. Add basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
    5. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cook until thickened approximately 20 to 25 minutes.

  15. easiest recipe i know for a great pasta sauce
    1 jar store bought maranara
    some sausage
    one bell pepper
    one onion (or half depending on taste)
    a can of diced tomatoes

    put the marinara sauce in pot twice the size that it fits in on medium heat on a back burner

    brown the sausage in a skillet and remove….use the rendered fat to sautee the diced pepper and onion with a healthy dose of garlic. add the sausage back in to bring bsck to temperature….and drain off excess fat….add can of tomatoes and stir until hot. add the whole skillet to the sauce and let it all simmer while you make the noodles. by the time the pasta noodles are done you have a great sauce that was easy to make.

    the sauce can be thick, and i find depending on the size of the pepper and onion that i sometimes need to add marinara or tomato sauce to it to thin it out some, but that’s a matter of taste.

  16. Do everything Jane says but do not blend the tomato – use canned chunky tomato and do not blend.
    a pinch of sugar can be used but if the sausage is hot you won’t be able to hide it. Us less hot sausage. You may want to add some (a half teas spoon) of ground cumin for a serious tasting sauce.
