Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe vegetables, flavorful sausage, and a good quality pasta.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the dish.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to taste the dish as you cook and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to soak up the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

It is packed with flavor and nutrition, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a simple and satisfying pasta dish, give this recipe a try.
