Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my kitchen staple for that perfect sear)
- 1 lb spicy beef sausage, sliced into 1/2″ rounds (go for the good stuff—it makes all the difference)

Ingredients

- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (the good stuff makes all the difference)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best, no exceptions)
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust if you’re not into heat)

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for that pop of color and freshness)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
