This fast and easy pasta recipe, made with fresh tomatoes and Italian Sausage Pasta with Italian Sausage and Fresh Tomatoes, it’s ready in less than 30 minutes. Fresh spices makes this Pasta Dish your new favourite.

Ahh Pasta, we have Marco Polo to thank for bringing one of Italy’s most famous dishes here from China! Thanks to him, Pasta is probably one of the most famous and delicious foods in the world.

Homemade fresh pasta or boxed pasta (dry) can be accompanied pretty well by anything and everything. Ok I draw the line at Chocolate, but other than that! One of my favourite dishes is this Pasta with Italian Sausage and Fresh Tomatoes.

It is fast and easy, and when summer arrives nothing better than sautéing some Fresh Tomatoes and leaving the canned until the fall.

How to make Sausage Pasta

  • This recipe is basically a one pot dish, your water is boiling and your sauce is cooking. Never cook your pasta in the same pot as your sauce. It’s just not right and doesn’t taste the way it should!
  • While the water is boiling, in a large frying pan add olive oil, the sausage pieces, tomatoes, and spices, stir it altogether and cook on medium heat.
  • Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until liquid (from the tomatoes) has evaporated and tomatoes are soft and a little bit shrivelled and the sausage is cooked.
  • Add the drained cooked pasta and 1/2 a ladle of pasta water, turn heat to medium high and gently stir until mixture is creamy and water has evaporated, serve immediately with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped basil. Enjoy!

What are the best Sausages to use?

This recipe is perfect with either hot or sweet Italian sausages. It is simple and easy, to tell the truth sometimes those are the best.

What fresh tomatoes are the best in Pasta Dishes?

Living in Italy has probably spoiled me when it comes to cooking with fresh tomatoes. My favourite are the smaller variety, cherry, grape or what are known as pachino tomatoes from Sicily. These are a crunchier, tastier and sweeter tomato. So if you ever see them in your local market, grab a bunch and make this delicious Sausage Pasta Dish or even Homemade Pizza!

I can remember when I first arrived in Italy, I thought there was nothing better than pasta everyday. My mother-in-law could whip up those dishes in nothing flat. And it would always be something fresh from her garden, winter or summer.

      Simply fantastic. I’m a novice in the kitchen, but learning new things every day. With an abundance of fresh cherry tomatoes from our garden, my wife sent me this recipe. The only disappointment I have right now is I’m totally stuffed and can’t eat any more tonight. But there’s always tomorrow.

      Thank you for sharing. This couldn’t have been easier or more tasty. Going to check out more of your receipes. Thanks again!

      This recipe was GREAT and I have come to expect that from you. Before regular grocery shopping day I was surprised to have all the ingredients readily available. We enjoyed the dinner very much! Thank you.

      I love your specific directions. I make a similar “throw it all in the pan” dish, but I never feel sure about the flame level or how long to keep cooking. Thanks for describing what the tomatoes look like when the sauce is ready. We all need these quick and delicious recipes.

        Hi Dana, thanks, Italians have a way of explaining a recipe with how it should look rather than how many or how much.

      Growing up mamma would make salsa cruda which she whipped up in no time at all. She didn’t use lots of herbs and spices — just like your recipe, simple but very flavorful. Yum!! Thanks for sharing.

      This looks so good…. and SO easy! I recently spent 3 wks with a friend in Italy. She’s an awesome cook and this is exactly how she cooks over there . . . everything fresh, meals came together super quick. Olive oil and tons of garlic . . . the secrets to delicious Italian cuisine! I’m trying this recipe tonight!
