One-Pot Pastas and Pasta Sauces

TEST KITCHEN TIP: COOKING SAUSAGE IN A PRESSURE COOKER

Italian sausage is sold in several forms, including links (which is most common), bulk-style tubes, and patties. If you purchase links, you just need to remove the meat from the casing before cooking so that it can crumble into bite-size pieces.

1. Hold sausage firmly on one end and squeeze sausage out of casing through opposite end.

2. Before cooking under pressure, cook sausage with onion and bell pepper, breaking up sausage with wooden spoon into bite-size pieces, until sausage is no longer pink.
