Penne with Maltese Sausage

This one is a summer favourite..

Ingredients
(for 2 persons)

300 grams of pasta (I used penne rigate)
3 fresh sausages
Frozen mushrooms or dried mushrooms
Garlic
Oil
Chili
1 / 2 cup white wine
Chopped parsley and basil

Method

Put some olive oil in pan and fry the garlic and chilli flakes.





Crumble sausage in a skillet and squash it with a fork.  Cook until browned.


Halfway through the process, remove the garlic.


When the sausage is browned, add the chopped mushrooms (without throwing the water of dried mushrooms, if you used them) and cook for a few more minutes.  Add the white wine until reduced by half.

Finish the sauce by either adding some of the reserved liquid of the dried mushrooms or  by dissolving 1 / 2 mushroom cube in hot water.

Add some fresh cream and stir.

Meanwhile cook the pasta al dente and then toss with the sauce in the pan of sausage and mushrooms.
