Sausage Preparation

    Heat the Garlic Oil

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of garlic oil.

    Once the oil is hot, add the 12 pieces of Vienna sausages to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5 minutes until they are browned on all sides.

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes over the sausages while they are cooking, stirring occasionally.

Pesto Mixture

    Prepare the Pesto

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of basil pesto with 1 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese. Mix well until the cheese is fully incorporated into the pesto.

    Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the skillet and add them to the bowl with the pesto mixture. Toss the sausages in the pesto until they are evenly coated.
