Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add cooked sausage back to the pan. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat well. Let everything simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld.
Stir in grated Parmesan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil.
