Sausage Stuffed Peppers with Pasta & Sausage Gravy

A Family Meal Built Around One Homemade Sausage Mixture

In this On-Demand Cooking Class, we'll turn plain ground pork into our own sausage mixture and use it two ways: to fill mini bell peppers and to build a sausage gravy for linguine.

But the real lesson is how the entire meal works together.

We'll brown the stuffed peppers first, then use that same pan to cook the remaining sausage and build the tomato gravy. We'll flavor the pasta water with rosemary, fresh herb stems, garlic and peppers, and we'll time the pasta so it's freshly cooked when the gravy is ready.

It's a complete family meal built around one idea:

Use the ingredients within the meal to help season the meal.

Serves 6–8.

What You'll Learn

In this class, you'll learn how to:

• Turn plain ground pork into a flavorful homemade sausage mixture
• Use one sausage mixture for both stuffed peppers and sausage gravy
• Brown stuffed peppers and carry that flavor into the next part of the meal
• Build a tomato sausage gravy in the same pan
• Flavor pasta water with rosemary, herb stems, garlic and peppers
• Use parts of fresh ingredients that might otherwise be discarded
• Coordinate the pasta and gravy so they're ready at the right time
• Understand why this sausage gravy doesn't need hours of cooking
• Add fresh herbs at the right point in the cooking process
• Taste and adjust the finished meal to suit you
• Use finishing cheese where it contributes the flavor you want

The Pan Becomes Part of the Seasoning

Once the stuffed peppers are browned, we don't wash the pan.

The remaining sausage goes directly into it, picking up the flavor left behind while adding another layer of its own.

Then the garlic and tomatoes go in.

By the time we're making the sausage gravy, we've already been building its flavor.

Don't throw flavor away. Carry it forward.

Cook with Carlo

I'm Carlo Pierandozzi, the noaddedsaltguy.

I don't teach people to simply remove salt from recipes. I teach a different way of thinking about cooking: using the ingredients within the meal to help season the meal.

The recipes are the examples. The techniques and ideas behind them are what you can carry into whatever you cook next.

Less salt. More flavor. Every day.
