This Pasta with Sausage dish combines the rich flavors of savory kosher sausage with perfectly cooked pasta, all tossed in a light tomato sauce. It's a comforting and satisfying meal that can be prepared in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• Pasta (penne or rigatoni) - 200 grams
• Kosher sausage (chicken or turkey) - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Crushed tomatoes - 400 grams (1 can)
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh basil - a handful, chopped (for garnish)
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (optional, ensure it's kosher)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Slice the kosher sausage into bite-sized pieces and add to the skillet. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
