Instructions

  • Firstly, boil the pasta according to package directions until al dente.
  • While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Remove the skins from the sausages and add into the skillet. Break them apart with a wooden spoon and fry until they are browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add garlic, chopped tomatoes, cream, and chili flakes. Stir well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, along with parmesan. Stir well to combine all. Serve pasta warm, garnished with fresh basil (optional).

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in a pot/pan over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave. You may need to add some water or cream to loosen the sauce.
To Freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to two months. Thaw and then reheat in the microwave or on the stove. Add water or cream if needed.
Tip 1: If you like some baked cheese on top, transfer finished meal into an oven-safe dish, add some cheese, and broil/bake for a few minutes.
Tip 2: When cooking the sausage, don't stir it too much. Allow it to sit and brown up.
Tip 3: Whenever making a homemade sauce, reserve some of your pasta water. It can be used at the end to thicken up the sauce a bit.
