This was an experiment turned excellent! I wanted pasta, but wasn't sure what to make. I didn't want the usual butter/olive oil, Alfredo, or tomato sauce, and I also didn't just want pasta, I wanted some meat! I looked in my freezer, fridge and pantry and this is what it led to!
Spicy Italian sausage (take out of casing and chop it up into bite sized pieces)
Linguini (I used spinach/chive linguini from Trader Joes, but really any type will work)
Olive oil
Sun-dried tomatoes
2-4 garlic cloves, chopped
Crushed red pepper flakes (oh yeah, bring on the spice!)
Pecorino-Romano (a little tangier) or Parmesan cheese, for topping if desired
Saute the sausage in olive oil and add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on so they can release their spice!
Cook pasta per instructions; drain
Put cooked pasta in with the sausage and toss to coat. Serve with cheese on top and maybe some garlic bread on the side.
Presto! You have a great tasting meal with a little kick to it!
Enjoy!
