Cooking method

Cooking time: 25 min

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients you'll need. It's best to use a sturdy durum-wheat pasta; I chose farfalle (bow ties), but any shape you like will work. You can swap the tomato paste for ketchup, canned tomatoes in their own juice, or fresh tomatoes. To use fresh ones, score a cross in the skin of each, drop them into boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then plunge them into cold water. Peel off the skins and puree them in a blender.
Step 2:

How do you cook pasta properly? Pour water (about 2 liters) into a wide pot and set it over the heat. When it boils, salt it (about 10 g of salt per 100 g of pasta). Add the pasta. Cook over low heat, stirring now and then. To keep the pasta from sticking, pour in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Don't cover the pot. Cook until al dente (check the package for the cooking time). Drain in a colander. There's no need to rinse it.
Step 3:

What kind of sausage should you buy? I used semi-smoked, but smoked or cooked sausage, ham, hunter's sausages, or cooked chicken all work too. Peel the casing off the sausage and cut it into small slices or sticks. Heat refined vegetable oil with a high smoke point in a large skillet. Fry the sausage, stirring, until golden brown.
Step 4:

Add the cooked pasta and the tomatoes or tomato paste to the skillet with the sausage. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together.
Step 5:

For better flavor, grate the cheese over the pasta and stir it in. Any hard cheese works, as long as it tastes good — I used Parmesan. Cover the skillet and keep the dish over low heat for about 3–4 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Step 6:

Serve the dish hot. Spoon the pasta onto each plate. Sprinkle more grated cheese on top, along with chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, fresh basil).

You can round out the recipe with sautéed finely chopped onion and bell pepper.
For spices, you can add minced garlic (1–2 cloves), Italian herbs, paprika (1 tsp), a pinch of thyme, and some crushed red pepper.
The dish can be made with different kinds of sausage. For example, fry smoked and cooked sausage together.
