Spicy sausage pasta
Simple suppers don't get much better than this easy sausage pasta with, sweet peppers and tasty Italian sausages.
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausages
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 red pepper, cut into strips
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, optional
- 200g/7oz whole wheat pasta of your choice
Method
Put a medium non-stick pan over a high heat and brown the sausages in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set the browned sausages to one side.
Reduce the heat to a medium flame and sweat the onions and garlic in the remaining oil for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper, chilli, oregano and sausages to the pan. Simmer covered until the red peppers soften (this should take about 10 minutes).
Cook the fusilli until al dente (with a bite) according to the packet instructions.
Drain the pasta well and put into two bowls with the sauce. Serve with a scatter of chopped parsley over the top.
Recipe Tips
If you can't find Italian sausages, try sausagemeat flavoured with fennel or even a chorizo-style cooking sausage.
