This is a nice, simple dish with only four ingredients. Because there are so few, make sure they are as good as you can find. Fresh, handmade pasta is a great option but it can take a bit of time. Fresh pasta from the store is a nice alternative. Of course, your favorite dry pasta will work. A word about the herb mix: if you can’t find La Bella Agiolina, create your own by mixing ½ teaspoons each of dried rosemary, parsley, oregano, basil and thyme.

Saute the sausage in the oil, breaking it up with a wooden spoon while it browns. Saute’ until you don't see pink. Add the tomatoes and the Herb blend. Crush the tomatoes as you did with the sausage. Reduce over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Boil the pasta in lightly salted water (should take about 2-3 minutes) then add it to the sauce in the pan. Toss in the pan and serve warm. Parmigiano-Reggiano is an optional garnish for this dish.
