Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausages

    Take the Italian sausage links out of the packaging and set them aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

  3. 4

    Cook the Sausages

    Add the Italian sausage links to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).

  4. 5

    Season

    Sprinkle red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the sausages during the last 2 minutes of cooking for added flavor.

  5. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the sausages from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
