Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, sliced, 2 tablespoons of oil reserved
  • 1 pound Italian hot sausages, casings removed
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts
  • 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 16 ounces fusilli pasta
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, plus additional for garnish
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
  • 8 ounces water-packed fresh mozzarella, drained and cubed, optional
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Heat the oil reserved from the tomatoes in a heavy large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown, breaking up the meat into bite-size pieces with a fork, about 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl. Add the artichokes and garlic to the same skillet, and saute over medium heat until the garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, wine, and sun-dried tomatoes. Boil over medium-high heat until the sauce reduces slightly, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fusilli in boiling water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta (do not rinse). Add the pasta, sausage, 1/2 cup Parmesan, basil, and parsley to the artichoke mixture. Toss until the sauce is almost absorbed by the pasta. Stir in the mozzarella. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve, passing the additional Parmesan cheese alongside.

    Excellent!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Giada's pasta recipes are always outstanding, and this one is no exception. It is robust and hearty; nothing delicate about... it. My daughter loved it. A new family favorite!Read more

    Great!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was really good - similar to a dish my mother makes but she does hers with broccoli instead of artichokes and leaves... out the sundried tomatoes. I did make this with spicy italian sausage but I actually just sliced it thin instead of removing it from the casings and it was still great! Highly recommended and not too hard either.Read more

    Great & can substitute w/ turkey Italian sausage for a lower cal/fat meal.

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have made this recipe many times for my family & friends, and everyone loves it. Whenever I make this, when having friends... over, everyone always asks for the recipe. Recently, I substituted regular Italian sausage for Turkey Italian Sausage. It was just as good, but it cuts down on the cal/fat. You can also cut down on the fat, by patting the meat with a paper towel after cooking to remove some of the olive oil. Read more

    My and my fiance's favorite!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is seriously going to impress! Its a little expensive to make, but I often make it without the sundried tomoatoes and... mozarella, and its still excellent. But the tomatoes and mozarella make it extra special. My fiance loves this and is always so excited when I say I'm making it. He makes such a big deal about everything I make from Giada's cookbook. Its so much fun. Giada's just amazing. You can never go wrong.Read more
