Jules has been cooking this dish for years. Far from fancy but really tasty and super quick. Also popular with kids but leave out the chilli if they’re not that way inclined.
Wine Suggestion: A robust Italian, more than likely a Sangiovese, is our wine for this type of dish. Today it was the Tenuta Sant’Alfonso Chianti.
Sausage Pasta – serves 4
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 good quality pork sausages cut into chunks
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 300g short pasta
Put a large saucepan of water on to boil for the pasta.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the sausages until they are nicely browned. Turn down the heat and add the onion and garlic, then cook until softened.
Stir in the chilli powder and tomatoes, then bring to the boil before turning down the heat and leaving to bubble for about 10 minutes while you cook the pasta.
Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the pack instructions, then drain. Tip the cooked pasta into the frying pan with the saucy sausages and mix well. Serve with crusty bread.
