How to Make Mike S New England Chicken Italian Sausage And Garden Green Pep

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced), and 1 bell pepper (any color, chopped) and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces) and 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings). Cook until chicken is cooked through and sausage is browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in one (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 1 teaspoon sugar.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While the sauce simmers, cook 1 pound spaghetti according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain well.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream into the tomato mixture.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  8. Remove from heat.
  9. Serve the sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
