• While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large heavy based pan and add the garlic and spring onions and cook over medium heat for a minute.

• Add olive oil to the pan along with the mushrooms, garlic, tomato, olives and bell pepper (if ingredients used) and cook over medium-high heat until the mushrooms are golden, approximately 5 minutes.
• Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and add the cream, reserved 1/2 cup pasta water, salt, black pepper, red pepper, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring once or twice until thickened, about four minutes.
