Method
If sausages have casings, remove before slicing. Otherwise, slice sausage into bite sized pieces. In large skillet, brown sausage in olive oil over medium heat. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels. Add garlic into sausage drippings and saute just until garlic becomes fragrant, being careful not to overcook. Add sausage back to skillet with vinaigrette to coat. Add canned tomatoes and fresh tomatos, then heat just until warm, about 7 minutes, reducing tomato juice just a little. When heated through, stir cooked pasta into skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh mozzarella cubes and fresh basil.
