- 200g mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tbsp tomato purée
- 250g pasta (penne or spaghetti work well)

Cut each skinned sausage into 4 and roll into small meatballs using your hands. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 8-10 mins until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Tip the onion into the same pan and cook for 5 mins until softened, then add the garlic and mushrooms. Fry until the mushrooms are lightly golden, around 3-4 mins.
- STEP 3
Stir in the tomato purée and add 50ml water, then stir in the meatballs. Season to taste and set aside. Add a little more water if necessary.
- STEP 4
Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions or until al dente. Drain, reserving a little of the pasta cooking water.
- STEP 5
Toss the pasta into the meatballs and mushrooms, adding a little pasta cooking water to loosen if required. Serve topped with the grated cheese.
