Cuisine: Sausage
New Orleans Gumbo
Gumbo and Jambalaya always remind me of my aunt Marjorie. She was a fabulous cook
and really inspired me on my cooking journey. She taught me many things, mostly about cooking. She taught me everything she knew about Indian food. She and my uncle lived in India for a year in the early sixties. They lived in New Orleans for well over 30 years and taught me how to make Jambalaya, gumbo, shrimp creole, and the list goes on.... This New Orleans Gumbo is a classic Creole recipe. It’s chicken, andouille sausage, shrimp, and fresh okra simmered with a dark roux and served over rice.

Tuscan Baked Spaghetti
Tuscan Baked Spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes and sausage is a rustic, crowd-pleasing casserole that leans heavily into the bold, earthy flavors of Central Italy.
The brilliance of this specific combination lies in its texture. You have the silky pasta, the crumbly sausage, and the slightly leathery, intense bite of the sun-dried tomatoes. Topped with a generous dusting of freshly grated Parmesan, it hits every sensory note. Buon appetito!

Marry Me Soup with Italian Sausage
I know there are lots of “Marry Me” recipes out there, but the base of these recipes happens to be really good.

It carries the signature creamy, flavor-packed base of the original, but the hearty sausage and comforting broth make it a complete, cold-weather meal.

Swamp Potatoes and Sausage
These Swamp Potatoes and Sausage are hearty, full of flavor and comforting. Its nickname probably comes both from its extra-deep South origins, and its resemblance to the bayou’s margin at low tide. Many Southerners also know this dish as old-fashioned smothered green beans. Serve alongside crusty bread for soaking in the delicious juices. While it may not win any beauty contests, its taste more than makes up for it!

Chicken Scarpariello
Our friend Melanie made this Chicken Scarpariello, which is a classic Italian-American dish. Scarpariello translates to "shoemaker" in Italian, and the dish is thought to be named so either because the ingredients can be "cobbled together" quickly, like a shoemaker might, or because the dish was traditionally eaten by poor shoemakers who could afford its simple ingredients; the exact origin of the name is unclear. The origins of the recipe don’t matter, it was incredibly delicious. It’s sweet, savory, and tangy.
