How to Make Olive Oil Garlic And Crushed Red Pepper Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings) and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 10 minutes).
- Add 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (3-4 minutes).
- Stir in 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes (or more, to taste). Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add 1/2 cup of pasta water to the skillet and bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes, creating a light sauce.
- Toss the cooked pasta (about 1 pound) with the sauce and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
