Ingredients
 
 

  • 12 ounces penne
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 14 ounces Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp chili flakes more or less to taste
  • 14 ounce puréed tomatoes
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • chopped parsley for serving optional

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Get your prep done before you start cooking. Remove casings from sausages. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  • Heat oil and butter over medium in a large skillet. Add sausages, break up into pieces and cook until brown for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, basil and chili flakes.
  • Add puréed tomatoes, bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes over low.
  • In the meantime, add penne to the pot with boiling water and cook until al dente. Scoop up ½ cup cooking water, then drain the penne.
  • When ready, add Parmesan and stir until combined. Add peas and a generous splash of cooking water, simmer for 1 minute. Toss with penne and stir until glossy. Finish off with freshly cracked black pepper, some extra chili flakes and parsley. Enjoy!
