Pasta and Italian Sausage


Very simple yet very good.

NEED:
16 ounce package of the pasta of your choice
Grated Parmesan cheese - freshly grated or in the jar
4 Italian sausages ( either sweet, mild or hot ) skinless
1 1/2 tablespoon Oregano
1 tablespoon dried Parsley

Cook the pasta as directed on the package.
Using a grill pan or fry pan, cook the sausage over a medium heat. I like to place it in the pan, add about 5 ice cube. When you turn the sausage, add a few more ice cubes, as needed. The idea is to add a bit of moisture but not have the sausage sit in too much water. However, do not allow the pan to go dry. This is very important as you are using skinless sausage.

When done, drain the pasta and place in large bowl. Add the grated cheese. The amount you add will depend on your taste. Sprinkle with the oregano and parsley. Mix well, until cheese appears melted. Cut the sausages into bit sizes pieces and add to the mixture. Give a light toss and serve.
Serves 4.

ENJOY!
