1tspfresh cracked pepper
½tbspItalian seasoning
4cupswater
½cupor more fresh grated or shaved Parmesan cheese
½tspparsley flakes
*You will also need a little olive oil and additional seasonings and basil as desiredsee below
Instructions
Start off my prepping your produce: cut tomatoes in half, peel and slice garlic cloves, thinly slice onion. Set produce aside.
Next, cut Italian sausage into pieces approximately ¼ inch in thickness. Also set aside.
In a large pot (wide enough to fit full length dry linguine noodles) combine all of the following: uncooked linguine, Italian sausage,
2 cups only* tomatoes, garlic, onion, and basil.
Next, sprinkle salt, pepper and Italian seasoning over top everything in the pot and add 4 cups water.
Cover pot and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, remove cover and continue cooking until pasta is cooked al dente (approximately 8 min).
While pasta is cooking, fresh grate or shave your Parmesan cheese. (Can also use pre-grated cheese here, but it is so much better when made using fresh). Also, take reserved tomatoes, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with additional seasoning if desired. Toss to coat and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, toss pasta often to keep it from sticking, etc. Liquid should be mostly absorbed when cooking is complete.
When pasta is just barely done, add in Parmesan cheese and toss to combine. Sprinkle with parsley, and top with reserved tomatoes and additional basil, salt, and pepper, if desired.
