Spicy Italian Sausages With Pasta Basil And Mustard Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta, and cook according to the instructions on the packet until nearly 'al dente' (it will finish cooking in step 9).
• Drain, and set the pasta aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet, and remove the sausage meat from their skins.
• Crumble the sausage meat into the skillet and saute in the hot oil until it is sizzling and cooked through, about five minutes.
• Add the wine to the sausage meat, let it bubble, then stir to dislodge any crispy bits of sausage stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
• Add the chili flakes, if using, and the basil and mix through.
• Next, add the mustard and then the cream.
• Bring slowly to a simmer, stirring now and again.
• Add the cooked pasta, and allow to simmer a few more minutes until it becomes 'al dente'.
• Taste for seasoning and add a little salt or a touch more mustard, if desired.
• Serve hot, garnished with a few basil leaves.

Steps:

• Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and rosemary; cook, breaking up the meat with a fork, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and stir occasionally until they have broken down and turned into a sauce, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the olives for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Add salt to taste, cover and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain well and toss with the sauce.
