Ingredients
- 200 g fusilli pasta
- 1 sausage
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp black pepper sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
- 1Boil the fusilli
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, and cook the fusilli until al dente according to package instructions.
Tip: Keep the water at a rolling boil while adding the pasta. - 2Season the pasta water
Add a spoonful of salt into the boiling pasta pot to flavor the noodles as they cook.

Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil, then fry the sausage and the egg until the sausage is browned and the egg is cooked to your preference.
Tip: Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the egg before the sausage is heated through. - 4Apply the sauce
Add the cooked and drained pasta directly into the pan with the protein, then pour the black pepper sauce over everything.
Tip: Use a generous amount of sauce to ensure every piece of pasta is well-coated. - 5Toss and coat
Use chopsticks to quickly stir and toss the pasta, ensuring every noodle is thoroughly coated in the flavorful black pepper sauce.
Tip: Stirring well ensures the savory flavor is distributed throughout the dish. - 6Serve and enjoy
