Fettuccine with Sausage, Sage and Crispy Garlic
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 8 garlic cloves, peeled and very thinly sliced (think of the dinner-in-prison scene in GoodFellas)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage (we used regular, purple, and variegated sage from our garden)
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- salt to taste
Place 1 tablespoon butter with the olive oil and all the slices of garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute until light golden, about one minute. Using a slotted spoon, set the garlic aside. Increase the heat slightly and add the sage to the skillet. Stir until it begins to crisp, about 10 seconds. Add sausage and saute until browned, breaking it up with a fork, about 8 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Meanwhile, prepare the pasta according to package directions and drain it. Add the pasta and the remaining tablespoon of butter to skillet. Toss the pasta with the sausage mixture. Serve the pasta topped with the crispy garlic and breadsticks.
