Ingredients for Baked Sausage And Garbanzo Bean Rollups Ragu

  • Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • Water
  • Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Italian Sausage
  • 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
  • Rag Pasta Sauce
  • Plain Breadcrumbs
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon olive oil

How to Make Baked Sausage And Garbanzo Bean Rollups Ragu

  1. Cut 1 pound Italian sausage into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, until browned.
  3. Add 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed), 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to the skillet. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 (24-ounce) jar Ragu® pasta sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid evaporates slightly, about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts; pulse mixture in a food processor until coarsely ground. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool completely.
  7. For the dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup olive oil, and 3/4 cup warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
  8. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  9. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil, wrap in plastic wrap, and let rest for 20 minutes.
  10. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 5-inch round cutter to cut out circles.
  11. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled filling in the center of each circle. Fold dough over filling to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal.
  12. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  13. Place rollups on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
