Ingredients

3 cups bow tie pasta
1 pkg (19 oz) Johnsonville® Sweet Italian Sausage, (casings removed)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 cup diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced

My mom and I really enjoyed this recipe! It was really quick and easy and tasted great! Unlike the other reviewer, I thought the amount of pasta was correct. The sausage is what really makes this dish different and unique. Ground beef would have not produced the same result. I added red bell pepper in addition to the other ingredients and I think it helped add to this dish. It's a keeper!

My whole family loves this dish. I originally found it while looking for a way to use my fresh basil plant.

The only modifications I made are using a little more pasta (the whole box, which is about 4 cups) and I just use a can of diced tomatoes.
