Sometimes we're gentle with our bowlfuls of pasta, but this time we're laying on the heat. Spicy sausage and a smattering of red pepper flakes inch this meal up the non-pepper Scoville scale (which doesn't exist). Those elements go amazingly well with fork-twirling pasta, hearty tomatoes, and sweet peas. The heat is on!
