ASAP. Amazing Sausage Asparagus Pasta.
Ingredients
????- 2 tbsp olive oil
????- 1/2 large red onion (chopped) ????
????- 3 garlic cloves (chopped or crushed)
????- 2 Italian sausages (take the case off and crumble the meat)
????- a whole bunch of asparagus (cut in pieces)
????- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (or more)
????- pasta of your choice (I used 2 packs of fresh Giovani Rana linguini)
♨️Start by boiling some water in a pot for your pasta.
♨️In a large pan sauté the chopped onion in about 2 tbsp of olive oil, for 3 to 4 minutes.
♨️Add the crushed or chopped garlic and stir. Add a bit of the pasta water if too dry or if it sticks to the pan.
♨️After “decasing” (taking the skin off) 2 Italian sausages, break apart and add the sausage meat into the pan. Break the meat into little pieces. Stir.
♨️Do not add water until the sausage meat browns up.
♨️Then add a little bit more water and add 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
♨️Add your cooked pasta and mix it all.
♨️I did not add salt nor pepper to this dish as I find the sausages salty enough. And I used a hot Italian sausage for the spice. But feel free to spice it up to your liking.
♨️Sausages can be replaced by pieces of bacon or pancetta if desired.
????️ It’s ready! Eat it right away topped with more Parmesan. ????
