Instructions
- Cook pasta as per package instructions in boiling salt water. Strain when done cooking and keep aside.
- While the pasta is boiling, prepare the meat sauce. If the sausage is in a casing, take it out from the casing and break it into smaller chunks with your fingers.
- Heat up a skillet with olive oil and sauté sliced/diced onion over a medium heat setting until a bit soft.
- Stir in sausage pieces and season with paprika, or cayenne, and black pepper.
- Combine and cook for a minute or two.
- Reduce the heat if it's too intense, and deglaze with the brandy.
- Keep on adding the tomato sauce, or crushed tomatoes, and cream. Mix the contents of your sauce and increase the heat to medium heat setting if needed.
- Season with salt to taste and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes at least so that the flavors of your sauce get to develop and take on shape.
- Take the sauce from the heat. Toss the cooked pasta in the tomato meat sauce so that the pasta is fully covered in sauce.
- Top with freshly cut or chopped parsley and shaved or grated parmesan to serve hot.

Notes
- Makes about 2–3 servings, depending on the serving size.
- Prep time is about 5 minutes, but 10 minutes if you have to remove the sausage casing.
- Prepare the sauce in a pan while the pasta is cooking to save time. That's about 10 minutes for the paste and 12 minutes to prep the sauce.
