Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the sausages until brown all over. Pour in the hot chicken stock and simmer with a lid on for 10 mins.

  2. Add the pasta to the pan, mix well and bring to the boil. Stir in the carrots and onions, cook for 5 mins, then add the celery and beans, and cook for a further 4 mins. Check that the pasta is cooked – if not, cook for a few minutes longer. Finally, stir in chopped parsley, season, and serve in large bowls.

The pasta should have been cooked separately then added. My pasta ended up mush. The flavour was also very bland.

It was quite boring, really.

This was quite tasty, but I think 2.8 litres of stock excessive. I only used 2, and it was still slightly too much. I sliced the sausages too to make it more manageable to eat with a spoon

I want to try this one and think that after reading the comments, adding some tomato puree and maybe some harissa paste might be a good idea. Will report back!

Very tasty supper, I sort of halved the recipe and substituted a leek for the onions and used 6 butchers chipolatas as I had them in the freezer. There is quite a lot of veggies and pasta left, so I might dice up some chorizo to add to it for leftovers tomorrow night.

Me and my boyfriend (who hates trying anything new) absolutely loved this and i definitely will be making it again! I added a diced red onion too. But would not recommend freezing this as the pasta goes mushy when defrosted and reheated.

I have made this a few times now, halving the recipes for two people - it is really tasty - but perhaps that is due to the delicious sausages from our local farmshop (Plumgarths)! I do colour my sausages in a frying pan before transferring to the 'one pot'.

Made this with quorn sausages and it was fab , really filling. I had no celery in so I substituted a lovely leek and a small tin of drained flageolet beans & added a generous pinch of smoked paprika... It was lovely, all the family enjoyed it. We had loads left over and the following day I just loosened it up with some 'marigold' stock adjusted the seasoning and had it as a hearty soup for lunch ! Fab! Will def make again .

I also chopped up the sausage when cooked. All soften onion, celery and carrot together and added some tomato puree.

Much too bland. It needs livening up with herbs and spices.
