Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    Remove the Italian sausage links from their packaging and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine the red pepper flakes, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to heat for about 2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    Add the sausage links to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
