Sicilian Pasta Dish with Raw Sausage & Parmesan

Bring a pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 8-12 minutes. Drain, but reserve a glass of the pasta cooking water.

Cut the sausages into quarters. Dice the tomatoes. Chop the basil and chilli.

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the sausage pieces over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the sausages are golden.

Add the tomato and chilli to the pan. Then fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through and the tomato has softened.

Add the pasta, basil and parmesan to the pan. Heat through and add a few spoonfuls of the pasta cooking water if necessary to achieve a creamier consistency. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.

Divide the pasta between plates and serve. Garnish with fresh basil. Enjoy!
