Method

  1. Put a large pan of water on to boil. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the sausage chunks on a fairly high heat until they are golden brown all over. Now turn the heat down and add the onion and garlic, cooking them until they have softened.
  2. Stir in the chilli powder and tomatoes with the sausages, bring the sauce to the boil then turn the heat down and let it bubble for about 10 minutes while you cook the pasta.
  3. Drop the pasta into the pan of boiling water and cook according to the pack instructions. Drain the pasta, then tip it into the frying pan with the sausage sauce, mixing well to coat. Dish up immediately with crusty bread.

    Nice easy tea time treat - I added just a few slivers of ginger to put a bit of zing in the receipe.

    It was very difficult to chop up raw sausages and keep the skins on, on my second attempt I grilled them first and then chopped them up also if you want more sauce add another tin of tomatoes and less chilli powder as we found it too spicy! We love this recipe for a quick cheap mid week meal.

    This is very tasty, satisfying and simple to prepare. Next time I will skin the sausages and roll into balls for a smoother texture.

    Was quick & easy. I also grill the sausages first as easier to cut. Also added a tin of sweetcorn, was yummy!

    I use scissors to cut up the sausages as it's quicker than a knife and you keep the skins on with ease!

    I make a recipe similar to this, but instead of adding pasta i serve the sauce over rice, i also add peppers and other veg to the pan. This is my kids favourite meal. Also if you dont like chilli this is delish with paprika.

    I used to make something like this when the children were small. I'd forgotten all about it. Will certainly make again.

    I made this for my family a couple of weeks ago and my 8 year old daughter absolutely loved it and has asked for it again. Looks like this will be a Friday night favourite as it is so easy to make. I also made an addition to the receipe - nce everything was cooked and all mixed together, I put it in an oven proof dish, grated cheese over the top and popped it under a preheated grill until all the cheese bubbling. To me this set the dish off perfectly.

    truly brillant for students! I'm a student and I just love this recipe. I sometime substitute sausage with tinned hotdogs when that's all I've got and its much easier to slice too. Also good with mixed vegies (when I cook for my veggie flat mate!)
