Treat your ingredients with care...

Italian sausage — If you prefer a spicier flavor, opt for hot Italian sausage. For a milder taste, choose sweet Italian sausage.

Tips & Tricks

To enhance the flavors, you can add a splash of red wine to the sauce while simmering.
For a touch of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the finished dish.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend the canned diced tomatoes before adding them to the skillet.
Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage, such as spicy or fennel-infused, to customize the flavor to your liking.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day. The flavors tend to meld together even more, making it even more delicious.

Serving advice

Serve the Gramigna Pasta with Sausage as a main course, accompanied by a fresh green salad and crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Presentation advice

Plate the pasta neatly in a shallow bowl, ensuring that the sausage and sauce are evenly distributed. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the top for an appealing finishing touch.
