Notes
For a special touch, I like adding a pinch of chili flakes for a hint of heat.
Don't overcook the pasta; keep it al dente to absorb the sauce just right!
Leftovers? Store them in the fridge; they taste even better the next day.
Try different sausage flavors; spicy or mild both work nicely.
Enjoy cooking! 🍽️
