Method

Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Cook pasta per packet directions.
Just before you drain, RESERVE 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Then drain pasta.
Use a sharp knife to cut sausages into approx. 2 cm chunks
Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Add sausages and cook until quite browned on the outside, doesn’t have to be cooked through inside.
Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent and sausages are very browned.
Add tomato, chilli flakes, pinch of salt and pepper. Mix and turn heat down to medium. Lets it bubble away for 8 minutes or until it is quite thickened, stirring every now and then.
Add baby spinach, asparagus, pasta, and about 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Toss quickly, no longer than 1 minute (otherwise the pasta may start to break).
Remove from stove, and serve immediately, garnished with plenty of basil and parmesan. Enjoy!
