Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bow tie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and crumble it into the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic

    Add sliced porcini mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked bow tie pasta to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Slice the scallions and sprinkle them over the pasta. Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
