Ingredients

  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 1 pound dry spaghetti
  • 1 package Johnsonville Parmesan Italian Sausages
  • Olive oil for the pan
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 4 large burrito sized flour tortillas
  • 4 cups grated part skim Parmesan

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Season generously with kosher salt.
  • While the water heats, use a sharp knife to butterfly the sausages.
  • Add the pasta to the salted water and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta reserving some of the pasta water for later.
  • Heat a large skillet or flat top over medium high heat and coat with olive oil. Add the sausages, cut side down and cook until browned, breaking up with a spatula as needed. Remove them from the heat and set aside.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet or flattop, along with a splash of pasta water and a few spoonfuls of sauce. Remove the pasta from the pan and build the burritos.
  • Build the burritos by dividing the spaghetti between the tortillas, topping the spaghetti with the sausage, more marinara sauce, and the mozzarella. Roll up the burritos.
  • Make the cheese skirt by sprinkling the remaining mozzarella into 4 rectangles on the flat top – if you’re working with a skillet, do this one at a time.  When the cheese starts to brown around the edges, Add the burritos and roll the skirt around the burrito. Remove from the skillet and cool for 5 minutes to crisp the cheese.
