Ingredients
  

For the sausages

  • 1 lb of Italian sausages
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (to be added to the beer)
  • ½ cup of beer

For the pasta and vegetables

  • 1 lb or 450 gm penna pasta
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 diced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup of crushed tomato
  • 3 mashed garlic cloves
  • ½ cup or 125 ml of chicken broth
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese to garnish

Instructions
 

  • To prepare the Sous vide, you will first need to fill its container with water, then adjust the temperature to 160°F (71°C).
  • In a zip-lock bag, put the sausages with the beer and salt.
  • For the ‘Water displacement’ technique, you will need to close the bag completely except one corner to allow air to come out. Dip the bag in a water filler container, keeping the zip-line above the water surface. Close the zip-line completely.
  • Dip the bag completely into the sous vide container. Leave the sausages to cook for 45 minutes (You have up to 3-4 hours)
  • Meanwhile, you should start cooking the Penna pasta according to the instructions on the bag, till al dente. Set aside after straining.
  • When the sausages are done, remove them from the zip-lock bag and start drying each one well with paper towels.
  • Slice each one into 1/2 –inch pieces. (make sure to constantly dry each slice with paper towels)
  • Add the sliced pieces into a hot skillet containing ½ tablespoon of olive oil on a medium flame. Sear the sausage slices for 2-3 minutes. ( you can grill the sausages before cutting and searing them)
  • Add the rest of the oil into the skillet after the slices are browned enough and removed. Proceed by adding the onions and the Italian seasoning. Leave them for a few minutes on the medium flame, then add the garlic, crushed tomatoes, and sauté for a few more minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth and leave them on the flame to thicken and form the delicious sauce I mentioned before!
  • Dump back the sausage slices and the cooked pasta. Mix well all the content of the skillet with the sauce. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
  • Dish up the Pasta with Italian sauce. Don’t forget to garnish it with the chopped parsley and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
