instructions
    1

    Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    2

    Once the oil is hot, add the Italian sausages and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.

    3

    While the sausages are cooking, prepare the asparagus by trimming the tough ends and cutting them into 2-inch pieces.

    4

    Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the garlic cloves (minced) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    5

    Add the asparagus to the skillet and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender but still crisp.

    6

    Slice the cooked sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Stir to combine with the asparagus and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes just to heat everything through.

    7

    Serve warm and enjoy your Salsiccia con Asparagi!
