Notes
Try out sausages of different flavours, seasonings and spices as it could lend extra flavours to your pasta dish.
To obtain the sausage meat, it's best to remove the casing. But if using the likes of Frankfurters, simply slice them up.
Reserving pasta water is a key step in making a good pasta dish. Especially for a creamy sauce base, the pasta water helps to loosen up the sauce, lend flavour (from the salt), and also bind the sauce to your pasta.
