- ~ 1/2 lb. Cappallini or Angel Hair pasta
- ~ Fresh Basil 10-15 leaves (about 1/2 cup) chiffonade (cut into fine strips or ribbons)
- ~ 3-4 Chicken/Apple sausages (fully cooked, like Adelle's) sliced into 1/4 inch coins
- ~ 1/2 Cup pine nuts, toasted They may be swirled continuously over medium heat in a pot until lightly browned. (Be careful, they burn easily.)

- ~ 3/4 Cup crumbled Feta Cheese
- ~ 1 tsp. dried pepper flakes
- ~ 3 Tbl. Olive Oil
- Bring 3-4 quarts of the salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in salted water until single strand thrown against refrigerator sticks (about 8 minutes).
- Saute sausage coins over med-low heat until warmed through, stiring occasionally (5-6 minutes) A little browning is OK.
- While pasta is cooking, toast pine nuts in sauce pan over low heat stirring or shaking constantly until lightly browned.
- When pasta is done, drain, toss with olive oil and then remaining ingredients and serve.
