My search for a good sausage & pasta recipe goes on. This recipe cooks the sausage first, less messy and a bit more natural than taking the skins off.
Ingredients
- 6 lean pork sausages
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 400g canned tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp chili flakes (less if you’re wimpish)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Enough pasta for 2 people (penne or fusili would be good)
Method
- Fry the sausages in half of the olive oil until lightly browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and slice into chunks.
- Slowly fry the onion and garlic in the rest of the olive oil until it begins to colour.
- Add the tomatoes, cooked sausages, chili flakes and oregano and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet and add to the sauce.
- Add some grated parmesan if you like.
Serves 2.
