Instructions
- 1Fill a large pot (at least 6-quart capacity) with at least 4 quarts of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat (100°C). Add the about 450 g of Gluten-Free Pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite. Carefully drain the pasta in a colander and set it aside.
- 2While the pasta cooks, place an approximately 30 cm skillet over medium heat (325-375°F/160-190°C) and add the 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. Remove the about 450 g of Italian Sausage from its casing, crumble it into the hot skillet, and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through with an internal temperature of 72°C. Carefully drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- 3Add the 4 cloves of minced Garlic to the skillet with the cooked sausage and stir continuously for 1 minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- 4Pour in the about 790 g Canned Crushed Tomatoes and the 1 can of Coconut Cream. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of Dried Oregano, 0.25 teaspoon of Red Pepper Flakes, 1 teaspoon of Salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of Black Pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- 5Increase the heat to medium-low (85-95°C) and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Continue to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened and the flavors have melded.
- 6Add the cooked about 450 g of Gluten-Free Pasta to the skillet with the simmering sauce. Toss the pasta gently with tongs or a large spoon until every strand is evenly coated with the sauce.
- 7Divide the pasta immediately among four serving plates. Garnish each portion with the 0.25 cup of Fresh Basil, which you should chop finely before sprinkling over the dish.
