Steps to make Pasta with Spicy Sausage, Sun-dried Tomatoes & Basil:
  1. Fill medium pot ⅔ full of water, and put on high to boil.
  2. In large pan or skillet, heat oil on medium. Add garlic, salt, pepper and chilli flakes. Cook till garlic begins to brown.
  3. Add sliced onion. Stir briefly until seasoning has been evenly distributed.
  4. Remove sausages from casing (I do this by gently slicing the casing with a knife and then squeeze the meat out directly into the pan). Break meat apart with spatula or fork and cook until meat is cooked through. Add sun-dried tomatoes, stir till throughly mixed, and turn off heat.
  5. Around this time, your pot of water will be getting to a boil. Add pasta and cook till done (following instructions on pasta packaging, usually 10-12 m). Drain pasta, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water. Do not rinse pasta.
  6. Put hot, cooked pasta into pan with meat mixture. (You can turn heat to low-medium if you think dish needs to be heated up.) Add grated Parmesan. Thoroughly mix pasta, cheese and meat, adding a little pasta water to moisten as you go. (I usually add between ¼-½ c of pasta water.)
  7. Once pasta is thoroughly mixed, turn off heat and add basil. Stir briefly.
  8. Serve immediately, garnish with Parmesan, fresh basil, and chilies.
  9. Variations: don’t like things too spicy? Use mild Italian sausages and cut the chili flakes. Chorizo sausage is also delicious. Try adding blanched broccolini for more veggies.
