How to Make Old World Sausage Skillet

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings), 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cups shredded cabbage, and 2 stalks celery (chopped). Cook, breaking up the sausage, until browned, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon dried sage.
Pour the mustard mixture into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Stir to combine.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add 1 cup cooked bow tie pasta (or your preferred pasta) to the skillet. Stir gently to heat through and coat with the sauce.
Serve immediately with crusty bread and a simple side salad.
