Alright. I've got my Superbowl Feast cooking right now and I thought I'd share my recipe.
This makes enough food for about three or four people. Scale up depending on the size of your party. (I'm going to a small party and everybody is bringing food so I scaled back on the amounts).
1): 2 Links Sweet Italian Sausage.
2): 2 Links Spicy Italian Sausage.
3): 4 Links Homemade Venisson Sausage.
4): One jar of Tomato Sauce, or the equivalent amount of your own homemade sauce. (Homemade is MUCH better, but I used the Bertoli Garlic/Sausage sauce).
5): One Large Sweet Onion.
6): Three plastic cup fulls of sliced Baby Bella mushrooms
7): One Large Clove of Garlic
: Salt and Pepper
9): Four Cubanelle Peppers
10): Basil and Oregano to taste.
11): Fresh Parmesean Cheese
12): Fresh Pecarino Romano Cheese
13): Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.
Start out by taking the cubanelle peppers and roasting them in an oven (or on the grill) at a low temperature until they become soft and the skin starts to turn a little brown. Remove them from the heat and let them dry on some paper towels.
Take the Onion and cut it up into a mixture of fine dices and thick strands. (So there's some onion left to bite into after it's cooked). Once diced up, add it to a pan with a few tablespoons of olive oil and add some salt and pepper. (1/4 teaspoon of each). Let them sautee until they become translucent. Meanwhile, put your sausage links in the oven at 350 so they will cook all the way through. Or, put them on the grill and let them stay there until fully cooked.
Once translucent, add in the mushrooms and cover the pan. Let it simmer for a while but keep an eye on it. As soon as the mushrooms have reduced in size and become soft, that is when you will throw in your one clove of garlic very finely diced. Let this simmer for a little while so the garlic melds with the mushrooms and onions.
Take a sprinkling of the basil and oregano and let it infuse its flavor into the mushrooms/onions/garlic. Once it's simmered for a little bit, take the whole mixture and put it aside to cool down and meld all the flavors.
Now, with the pan empty, throw in 3/4 of your tomato sauce and let it warm up. Slice your cubanelle peppers into long strips and throw them in there. At the same time, throw in your sausages sliced into small, bite-size discs and let them mix together. Once it's all mixed, grind together your parmesean and romano cheeses. (However much you want) and let it melt/dissolve into the sauce mixtures. Now throw your mushrooms/onions/garlic back in.
Take the mixture and put it into a caserolle pan and mix in the rest of your tomato sauce and some shredded mozzerella cheese. Now put a VERY thin layer of mozzerella cheese on top and put it into an oven at 350 degrees until the cheese turns brown on top.
Now take out your caserolle and let it cool a little bit. Serve with some Italian bread and enjoy!
