Here is how you make Pasta with Sausage, Basil and Mustard:

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente; drain. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the pork and seasoning and brown over moderately high heat, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the milk, mustard and crushed red pepper and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the pasta and basil and toss to coat. Serve at once. **Note** This makes a *huge* amount, so make sure to use the largest skillet you can find!Serving Size: Makes 8 servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KLWOZNIAK.
