This delicious roasted onion dish from What’s Cooking America is so simple, and excellent served with your steak dinners!
INGREDIENTS
2 large sweet onions, peeled
Coarse salt and coarsely-ground pepper to taste
4 teaspoons butter
Good-quality-aged Balsamic Vinegar
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a baking dish just large enough to hold the onions.
Slice of the top and the bottom parts of the onions so they sit flat in the baking dish; cut the onions in half.
Arrange the onion halves, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, and place 1 teaspoon of butter on each onion half.
Cover and bake 50 to 60 minutes or until onions give slightly when the edges are squeezed together between your fingers. Remove from oven.
Uncover and sprinkle each onion half with balsamic vinegar (use a fork to spread the onion layers apart so that the vinegar can dribble down between the layers).
Tastes great and easy to make, this Giada de Laurentiis recipe works with turkey, chicken or pork sausage.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian turkey sausage
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 yellow onions, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup Marsala wine
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
4 to 6 fresh Italian sandwich rolls, optional
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown on both sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain.
Keeping the pan over medium heat, add the peppers, onions, salt, and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, basil, and garlic and cook 2 more minutes.
Add the tomato paste and stir. Add the Marsala wine, tomatoes, and chili flakes, if using. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
Cut the sausages into 4 to 6 pieces each, about 1-inch cubes. Add the sausage back to the pan and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
Serve in bowls. Or, if serving as a sandwich, split the rolls in half lengthwise. Hollow out the bread from the bottom side of each roll, being careful not to puncture the crust. Fill the bottom half of the roll with sausage mixture. Top and serve sandwiches immediately.

Preheat oven to 400º. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and membrane. Season with salt and bake 1 hour on a baking sheet, cut side up.
In a large deep sauté pan, melt butter and add oil. Add onions, celery and carrots and sauté on medium-low for about 2-3 minutes, until soft. Add meat and season with salt. Brown meat and break down into smaller pieces with your spoon. When meat is cooked through, add tomatoes and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
