Method

  1. Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins, breaking into grape-size chunks. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the chunks for about 8 mins until crisp and golden.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta and chop most of the rocket. Add the chilli to the sausages, fry for 30 secs, then tip in the cream and chopped rocket. Season and heat until the rocket has just wilted.
  3. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking liquid, then mix the pasta through the sauce with a splash of cooking water. Top with remaining rocket

    I only thought this was ok, not one of my favourites. I thought it a tad bland.

    Ok but not so interesting - was a little disappointed as it is all my favourite things.

    I made this dish for friends and it was easy and delicous and went down really well. Can't fault it.

    My boyfriend made this for us and we both found it to be really disappointing and bland. It was relatively quick and easy to make but I doubt we'll bother again.

    Loved it - made this a few times, but you need to add a few handfuls more rocket, loads of black pepper and lots of chilli to get the best flavour.

    Made this for the third time last night and it was really tasty. Have adapted it slightly and also fry a red onion (cut into wedges through the root) along with the sausage meat. Also (as mentioned by autumnlight above) tend to use rather a lot of chilli and tonnes of black pepper to ensure it's got a good kick. From experience I'd say the cooking liquid from the pasta is pretty vital. I forgot it last night and the dish was rather dry - still yummy, but a bit on the claggy side.

    Very tasty and simple to make - may have overdone it with the quantity of linguine but even so it's worth it!

    I use chilli sausages, a splash of white wine and creme fraiche with lots of chillis and garlic. Add fresh basil at the end. Divine!

    Amazing, has become a family favourite. Sometimes halve some cherry tomatoes and add them in after the chillies, tastes gorgeous

    Slit the skins lengthways with a sharp knife and just slip them off. Squeezing is tedious and the skins will inevitably burst.

    Great dish but to upgrade it a bit use Italian or Chorizo (not the salami though) sausages or even Lincolnshire or other flavoursome sausages and add parmesan or grano padano cheese grated over the top - good supper dish.
