Sizzled sausage pasta

Sizzled sausage pasta

Try this recipe for a dish which is smart enough for adults, but not without kid-appeal. It tastes great cold too, so you can pack any leftovers in your lunchbox

Difficulty and servings

Easy

Easily halved

Preparation and cooking times

Ready in 20-30 minutes

Method

  1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to the packet instructions or until tender.
  2. Peel the skins off the sausages and chop the sausage meat into small hazelnut-sized pieces. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small chunks. Heat a tablespoon of the sun-dried tomato oil in a large frying pan (big enough to take the pasta later) and sizzle the sausage pieces for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're crumbly and golden. Stir in the sun-dried tomato chunks and the remaining oil, and heat everything through.
  3. When the pasta is ready, drain it well and toss into the sausage mixture with the parsley. Make sure everything is well mixed and coated with the oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, and serve straight from the pan.

    I used toulouse sausages for this and I'm glad I did because they gave it so much flavour. I think it'd be a bit bland with plain suasages. The combination of the tomatoes and sausages was really good and I'd definitely make it again.

    I have made this so many times since it was first in the magazine! Really nice with pork and apple sausages as well as toulouse, or spicy ones with chilli. Also good with some mushrooms chucked in when the sausages are frying. Be careful how much oil you put in though as it can be a bit greasy. Fabulous cold for lunch next day!
