Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your pasta dish. Look for sweet peas, flavorful Italian sausage, and a good quality pasta.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
- Cook the sausage in a separate pan: This will help to prevent the sausage from becoming greasy. You can also use a leaner Italian sausage if you're concerned about fat.
- Use a light hand with the salt: Italian sausage is already salty, so you don't need to add a lot of additional salt to the dish.
- Serve the pasta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese: This will add a delicious, nutty flavor to the dish.
