1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy clean-up. Place the sausage links on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to bake off for 10 minutes. The sausage may not be fully cooked through at this point – that’s totally fine. Remove from the oven & allow to rest for 1-2 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, thinly slice the sausage on a bias and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, according to package directions until al dente. Use a liquid measuring cup to reserve about 1 cup of the starchy pasta water. Drain the pasta and set aside (do not rinse the pasta!!!).
3. Meanwhile, begin cooking the marsala pan sauce. Add the olive oil to a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add in the onion, stirring to combine. Season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened & translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic & chili flake. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the sliced sausage from Step 1 to the skillet, arranging the slices in such a way that they cover the bottom of the skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes, until browned, before flipping to brown the opposite side. Add mushrooms & walnuts on top of sausage. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sausage is browned, the mushrooms have softened slightly, & the walnuts are toasty.
