Step 1

Cook the sausages according to the package instructions. Set aside to cool and then dice.

Step 2

Boil the pasta for about 7 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the mushrooms, tomatoes, shallots, and cheese. Place each ingredient in separate small bowls for serving.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the garlic. Add the harissa and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Drizzle in more olive oil as needed to thin out the sauce. Stir well to coat the pasta and let it absorb the flavours for about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Let cool, then serve the pasta in individual bowls. Place dishes at table with chopped cooked sausage, chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, shallots, and grated cheese. Assemble like one would a salad.
