    Delicious! Let it simmer for a long time and it becomes really rich and tasty. Added more paprika than it says for more smokiness. Also added more red wine, mushrooms and an onion. Very nice!

    A huge hit with Hubby and my 1 year old! A very quick and easy dish to make but it tastes absolutely delicious. I kept the chilli flakes out of mine's and my little one's but apart from that the receipe was actually followed to the letter for once!

    I follow the Slimming World plan and have made this twice now, using spray oil instead of olive oil and low fat sausages. We all love it and it's quick and easy.

    Found this very unpleasant. The smoky flavour from the paprika mixed with the licorice flavour of the fennel seeds didn't go together. Won't be trying this again.

    Quick, easy & delicious. Ideal mid-week meal. I used veggie meatballs & forgot to buy rigatoni, so just used spaghetti-both worked well, so I'll be making this again.

    This was a delicious mid week meal. I am currently on Weight Watchers and found this recipe really easy to adapt so it was low in fat. I used 1kal cooking spray instead of olive oil, some low fat weight watchers sausages and added a finely chopped chilli and lots of mushrooms at the same time as the garlic. I also used slightly more smoked paprika. A deliciously satisfying meal which, as a result of the delicious satisfying sauce, means you don't need to much pasta! Served with a salad of green leaves and rocket.
