Try it Tuesday – Spicy sausage pasta
Sausages are very popular in our house, but I normally just do them with yorkshires, onion gravy, stuffing and wedges.
Since trying pregnant jools’s pasta a couple of weeks ago, and it being such a hit, I’ve been thinking about making other dishes using sausages. This my first sausage dish.
I used
8 Cumberland sausages – chopped (I cut each sausage in to 4)
1 red onion – chopped
2 cloves of garlic – crushed
a box of closed cup mushrooms – cleaned and sliced
balsamic vinegar – 1 tablespoon
oil for frying – I used coconut
oregano – 1 teaspoon
basil – 1 teaspoon
crushed chillie flakes – add to your taste
chopped tinned tomatoes with mixed herbs
pasta
garlic bread – to serve
I started by putting the water on for the pasta, heating the oil and frying the onion and garlic until the onion softened, I then added the mushrooms and fried them for about 2/3minutes, till they started to colour and then added about a table spoon of balsamic vinegar and stirred it in, I then added the sausages and cooked them though I then added a teaspoon each of oregano and basil, with the chilli flakes add according to your taste, I added a teaspoon. I then chucked in the tin of toms and simmered until the pasta was ready, spoon in to the sauce and stir in and serve with a nice bit of garlic bread.
I hope you enjoy making and eating this as much as we did I’d love to hear your feedback xxx

Sounds great! I recently found an awesome pasta sauce by (on a whim!) experimenting with leftovers! We always have about one portion worth left over when we make fajitas, so I took the leftover fajita mix (onions, peppers, sauce, bit of chicken) and blended it smooth! I then added a tub of chopped tomatoes and mixed it with pasta (and sausages, snap!) and added some parmesan at the end. It was amazing! xx #foodiefriday
will definitely be trying this, The Boy’s answer to “what do you want for tea?” is always “spaghetti bolegnese” so always great to have new pasta dishes to try

Oh this is right up my street! I love a sausage pasta! Proper comfort food 🙂
Sounds lovely – I never buy jars of pasta sauce any more, home made is just so much tastier! #foodiefriday
Sausages are one of the few things my kids will reliably eat. Never thought of putting English sausages in pasta. It sounds really good. #foodiefriday
This sounds lovely, I love balsamic vinegar so even if you can’t really taste it in the end the recipe wins me over if it includes balsamic! #foodiefriday
Oh I love sausages in pasta. Such a cheap meat too so it’s perfect for keeping your food bill down!
Going to give this a go!!

Sounds good. I can do this with veggie sausages so a hit for me even though I’m veggie! #foodiefriday
If someone held a gun to my head and said “choose one savoury item to eat for the rest of your life!!!” I would choose sausages! Wrap them in pastry, stick them in a yorkshire, I don’t care I loves me a sausage (I know how it sounds but I don’t care!)
Will be giving this one a try next week with some gluten free pasta 😊 thanks for sharing

Love the sound of this. We are big fans of pasta, Clem loves it so I’m always looking for new recipes to try. Shes not a huge spice fan but I could always leave the chillies out. x #foodiefriday
This sounds great and although I don’t eat meat sausages I think I will try it with either vegetarian or chicken ones. #foodiefriday
That’s lovely! We are huge fans of pasta at home so we may give it a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe. 🙂 xx #foodiefriday
