Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage comes in a variety of flavors, from mild to spicy. Choose a sausage that is spicy enough for your taste, but not so spicy that it overwhelms the other flavors in the dish.
  • Brown the sausage thoroughly: This will help to develop the flavor of the sausage and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Use a good quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose a pasta that is made from high-quality ingredients and that has a good texture.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and that complements the sausage and pasta.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to this dish. Some good vegetables to add include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to this dish that really takes it to the next level.
