1 package Chicken and Apple Sausage (4 links of any variety you choose, but this is the one I used)
1 tbsp olive oil
2cups sliced cherry tomatoes
3 garlic cloves, minced
3cups mushroom medly (I used a variety of oyster, crimini and white button mushrooms)
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2cup pasta water (from cooking your fusilli)
1/4cup Vermouth or white white
2 tbsp heavy cream
2cups fusilli pasta
small handful fresh chopped herbs such as basil and/or flat leaf parsley
Grated Parmesan and chili flake for serving
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil
To roast the mushrooms, gently clean them with a wet paper towel, quarter (or gently pull apart the oyster mushrooms) and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, generous pinch of kosher salt and fresh thyme sprigs and roast for 10 minutes at 375. I do this in advance and store in a glass container until I need to use them)
Add salt to the pot of water when it boils and add the fusilli for 6 minutes
Slice the sausage into quarter inch pieces and fry in the olive oil until browned on one side
Add in the tomatoes and garlic and Vermouth and sauté for 2 minutes
Add in a ladle full of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add the pasta to the sausage
Add the cream, stir and season with salt
Turn off the heat, sprinkle with parsley and basil and add Parmesan and chili flake before serving
