Quick answer
Can you cook Italian sausage from frozen?
Yes. Cook frozen raw Italian sausage without thawing by adding about 50 percent more time. In a skillet, start covered with a little water over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, then uncover and brown. In a 400°F oven allow about 30 to 35 minutes. Always confirm 160°F (71°C) in the center.
