Easy and quick.......sometimes that's a good thing on a busy night or after an exhausting day.

12 ounces Italian sausages cut in 1 inch chunks

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
Add the sausage chunks and brown them over medium heat.

Reserve a little pasta water to thin sauce if it gets too thick.
