In a large bowl, combine the ground pork with salt, black pepper, sage, thyme, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a sausage patty or link, depending on preference.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausages in a single layer.

Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the sausages are browned and cooked through.

Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
