YIELD: 4–6 serving

ACTIVE TIME: 15 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes

 

INGREDIENTS

 

·       1 pound pasta

·       Kosher salt

·       1/2 cup olive oil

·       2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

·       3 pints cherry tomatoes (I used 3 large tomatoes instead, cut into slices, then cut in half)

·       1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

·       Pinch of sugar

·       1 Package of Beyond Meat hot Italian sausages

·       Freshly grated Parmesan (for serving)

 

 

PREPARATION

 

1.     Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl.

2.     Meanwhile, heat oil in a 12" skillet or wide heavy saucepan over medium-high. Add garlic, then tomatoes, pepper, sugar, and 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst and release their juices to form a sauce, 6–8 minutes.

3.     In the meantime, cook the sausages following directions on the package.

4.     Toss pasta with tomato sauce and cook on low for a few minutes, adding cut sausages.

5.     Top with Parmesan. 

Perfect recipe to use up those tomatoes overflowing from the garden!
