METHOD

Put pasta water on. Using Boiling water from a kettle. Careful have filled this up halfway . Two trips to fill a stock pot bring to a boil medium heat. Add a handful of salt.

Add Pasta when a rolling boil.  Handful per person.  On the packet usually a time. Adjust to your own timings. I usually do ten minutes and check for a bite. Al dente then ready to sauce..

Sauté Pan heat up medium heat.  Add Olive Oil. a teaspoon be OK.  There is fat in the Sausages.  Out of skins Sausages roll into Meatballs into pan and let it sear.

You may have to move Meatballs keep turning till cooked . Use Serving Spoons to move them. Around the Pan.

Add Sauce either from a jar or home made portion should not be drowned in sauce just a coating. Add more if you wish to.
