Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Add potatoes, cauliflower, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return veggies to the same pot, off heat.
While potatoes and cauliflower cook, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then mirepoix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 5-6 min.
Increase heat to medium-high. Add sausage to the pan with mirepoix. Cook, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Season with garlic salt and pepper.
Add tomato sauce base to the pan with sausage and veggies. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 30 sec. Add marinara sauce, soy sauce, 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) and reserved cooking water. Bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Season with pepper, to taste. Remove the pan from heat.
While sauce simmers, mash three-quarters of the Parmesan and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) into potatoes and cauliflower until mostly creamy. (NOTE: Potato-cauli mash will still have a few chunks!) Season with pepper, to taste.
Divide potato-cauli mash between plates. Spoon sausage and sauce over mash. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Tear basil over top.
