Steps
TRADITIONAL METHOD
Sauté the garlic and sausage: In a large pan, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the whole garlic clove and let it fry until golden, then remove it. Add the crumbled sausage (without casing) and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring often.
Add the cream: When the sausage is browned, pour the cream into the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Cook the pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water. Drain it al dente, keeping aside a cup of the cooking water.
Combine: Toss the pasta in the pan with the sauce for 1-2 minutes. If needed, add a bit of cooking water to make it very creamy. Serve immediately.
