Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the sausage until cooked through and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Using a damp paper towel, wipe down the skillet. Heat one tablespoon olive oil over low heat. Add garlic and cook about 1 minutes until fragrant and golden. Add cherry tomatoes and season with sea salt. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the pasta is ready.

In the meantime, cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
