Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it into the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Add minced garlic to the sausage and cook for 1 minute. Then, add cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to burst and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook Cavatelli

    Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatelli and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the cavatelli.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained cavatelli to the skillet with the sausage and tomatoes. If the mixture seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Stir in chopped basil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
