Italian Sausage Pasta

Connie Veneracion
Cooked with homemade sausage mix brimming with herbs and spices, this Italian sausage pasta dish is perfect for a summer lunch in the garden.
Italian sausage can be bought at meat delis but, if you have the time and are up for the little extra work, there’s nothing like mixing your own sausage meat. It’s easy. Just mix ground meat with seasonings and spices and allow to marinate overnight in the fridge. For this recipe, I followed Emeril Lagasse’s recipe for homemade mild Italian sausage but used more garlic and minus the ground anise, red wine and casings.
