Sausage, Potatoes and Peas

Submitted by bunnylove in NEW EN

"This was first made for me by an older family friend. he says this is an old italian recipe. i don't know if it is or not, but everyone always likes it. i usually serve with crusty bread, although some people i've made this for like rice or pasta with it. that is too much starch for me, i know this recipe is not very healthy, but i still occasionally make it because family really likes it."

I needed a reminder on how to make this and this recipe was perfect! My mom always made this for us growing up. She didn't even add any broth and it was still good. I never thought about it being an old Italian recipe, but since we're Italian, I bet you're right! Everyone always loves it. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderfully easy and elegant. We have made it a number of times using partially thawed frozen peas and it works. I also add a small chopped onion to the broth. And it does strike me as authentic Italian<br/>cuisine, especially in its use of peas as "contorno."

LOVE this recipe! It's super easy to make and scrumptious as can be! To make it a little healthier, I usually use 3 sweet potatoes and 1 russet (skin on or off), but no matter what you do it's delicious. I even added a can of chicken broth once which made it more like a stew - so good! This is just a warm, comforting dish that never disappoints... Thank you for sharing!

Oh wow this is a great recipe! Comfort food at its best, easy to make and only 1 pan! I made a single serving using 1 sweet Italian turkey sausage, 1 small potato, and an 8oz can of peas. The broth with the herbs added such great flavor to this. Terrific recipe - thanks for sharing a keeper! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2011

This is such a great meal for those I-can't-stand-cooking-a-meal-tonight times. Throw it together with turkey Italian sausage, sweet potatoes, a splash of olive oil and some broth and it will not only be easy and delicious, it will be much healthier as bunnylove notes.
