Ingredients

Olive oil cooking spray

1/2 pound of pork sausages, removed from their castings and crumbled

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Pinch of hot pepper flakes

16 cherry tomatos

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Salt and pepper

7 ounces whole wheat linguine, cooked al dente

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1) Spray a large nonstick skillet with olive oil cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and stir occasionally for about 3 minutes, until the meat begins to brown. Add the garlic, pepper, flakes, tomatoes, and thyme. Cook until the sausage turns dark brown and tomato skins have burst, about another 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

2) Place the cooked pasta in a warm serving bowl and toss with extra virgin olive oil. Top the pasta with the sausage and tomato mixture, stir to combine, and sprinkle with parsley.
