Preparation

Step 1

Squeeze sausage out of casing and cook in small amount of olive oil until slightly browned. (Mash with potato masher to get it in small pieces.) Remove sausage from pan. Add olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, oregano, and cherry tomatoes. Cook 3-4 minutes, until tomatoes are starting to soften. Add sausage, basil and parsley and cook 3-4 minutes more. Serve over hot linguini or spagetti with lots of fresh parmesan.
