Try it Tuesday – pregnant Jools’s pasta
This week I decided to have a look though my cook books and I found this in my 30min meal book, by Jamie Oliver.
For pregnant jools’s pasta you will need
a carrot
a stick of celery
4 spring onions
fennel seeds (1 heaped tsp)
oregano (1 tsp)
4 garlic cloves
1/2 fresh red chillies (I used 1, seeds removed)
balsamic vinegar (4 tbsp)
a tin of chopped tomatoes (400g)
a bag of dried pasta (500g)
a pack of sausages (400gs approx)
And a food processor.
I started by roughly chopping the carrot, spring onion and celery and removing the seeds from the chilli then giving them a blitz in the food processor. Next I added the sausages and the herbs and blitz again.
I put a saucepan of water on for the pasta and also heated a bit of oil in a large frying pan, once the oil was bubbling I started spooning in the sausage mixture. I mixed it and broke up any lumps as it cooked.
I crushed the garlic and added this to the pan along with the balsamic vinegar and the tin of tomatoes and give it a good stir, I added add a little of the starchy water to loosen, once the pasta was cooked I spooned it from the pan into the sausage mixture, stirred and served with garlic bread on the side.
This was delicious I wish now I had looked though this book before, it probably did take about 30mins give or take but I’m not that organised! I also got to dig out and use my food processor which is always a bonus and I will definitely be making this again – cheers Jamie !!!

Oh this is one of my fave recipes from Jamie Oliver. It is lush! We also make it for the girls but remove the chilli. Nom, nom! I am going to have to make this for tomorrow now 🙂
Oo this sounds lovely, I especially like the sound of adding the balsamic. I’ll be giving this a go! #foodiefriday x
Ooh I’ve made this one! I’ve got the 30min meals book and I make this using veggie sausages instead of meat. Piglet hasn’t tried it yet so may have to make it for him. #foodiefriday
I have this Jamie Oliver book but haven’t tried this recipe yet, will have to give it a go now! #foodiefriday
Looks yummy…must admit though I absolutely hate celery but love balsamic #foodiefriday
Neither do I but to be fair it’s blitzed within an inch of its life and I couldn’t taste it !!! I’m going to start adding balsamic vinegar to everything !!!
Yum, I wonder if my kids would like this as they love sausage but can be lukewarm about pasta dishes generally. Definitely sounds tasty for grownups though for sure! #foodiefriday
My girls all really enjoyed this but they do like to eat pasta till it comes out of their ears !!!
Oooh this looks good. I’ve got a few Jamie Oliver books. His recipes have never let me down.
