I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles for this recipe, but I am sure you could use just about any type of noodle and it would be great. Serve it with some nice bread, mixed greens and great bottle of wine and I am sure you could use this to serve to company.
6 hot italian sausage links
spaghetti noodles
1 - 28 oz can diced tomatoes
olive oil
crushed red pepper for seasoning
5 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper for seasoning
1/4 cup basil, chopped
shredded parmesan for garnish
Begin bringing water to a boil for pasta.
In a sauté pan drizzle with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook just until cooked through, turning to brown all sides. Remove sausage and slice into thin slices. Place the sliced sausage back into the sauté pan and crisp up until just about browned all over.
Add garlic and season with crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Sauté for a couple of minutes, be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add tomatoes and season with additional crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Reduce to a simmer and cover and stir occasionally.
Cook pasta according to package directions.
In a large bowl combine drained pasta and sauce with sausage. Mix well tossing everything together. Add basil and toss again.
Top pasta with shredded parmesan cheese, serve and ENJOY!!!
Wine pairing.......Barbera or Chianti.
