👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.
2. 2Meanwhile, preheat a skillet to medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until no longer pink about five minutes. Next, add in the wine and let it simmer for a minute or two scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. You will want to reduce the wine by half for about 3 to 5 minutes.
