Notes

Pro Tips

- Al dente pasta or to the bite is when you remove the pasta from the boiling water a minute or two before it is fully cooked. This will allow you to cook them a minute longer with the sauce and not become too mushy and uneatable.

- When adding liquid, even though they are seeded tomatoes, moisture will be added to your hot skillet with the sausage, and that will cause a splatter of hot oil and tomatoes all over your stove. I suggest having a lid and cover to protect you when adding the tomatoes to the sausage.
