Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams penne pasta
- 300 grams spicy Italian sausage
- 200 grams oyster mushrooms
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 15 grams fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 liters water
Instructions
Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Cook the penne pasta in the boiling water according to the package instructions (approximately 10-12 minutes) until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, remove the casings from the spicy Italian sausage. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Break the sausage into small pieces and cook in the skillet until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the oyster mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well. Add 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes for heat.
Add the drained penne pasta to the skillet, along with the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves and grated parmesan cheese.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with extra basil leaves and parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
