Steps
TRADITIONAL METHOD
Sauté the garlic and sausage: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the whole garlic clove and let it fry until golden, then remove it. Add the sausage, crumbled (without casing), and brown it for 8-10 minutes, stirring often.
Add the cream: When the sausage is golden, 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, reserving a cup of the cooking water.
Toss together: Sauté the pasta in the pan with the sauce for 1-2 minutes. If needed, add some of the reserved cooking water to make it very creamy. Serve immediately.
