I am not sure if I have mentioned this much before, but I am part Greek Orthodox. One of my favorite Greek meals growing up was Greek Meatballs. I love the sauce. Even though it is traditionally used for meatballs, I like to use it for sausage and pasta. It is a very thin sauce. Here is my recipe for “Greek Sausage Pasta”.
What You Need:
- 1 Box of Pasta – I use Penne and Bowties – it is how my daughters like it. But you can use any pasta.
- 4 Sausage Links – I prefer Mild or Sweet
- 1/2 Stick of Butter
- 1 Can of Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 Cup Vinegar
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Directions
- Cook pasta according to directions on the box.
- In a frying pan, cook sausage links in a little bit of oil until they are no longer pink. Cut them in to slices and set them aside.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Let it brown slightly.
- Shut off heat.
- Add can of tomato sauce. Sprinkle in salt & pepper to taste – stirring.
- Add vinegar and cinnamon.
- Turn on heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Combine pasta, sausage, and sauce.

I took a sauce that is a recipe my YiaYia gave me for Greek meatballs and turned it in to one of favorite sausage dishes!
