  • About

Italian sausages are wonderful as a meal but crumbled up and cooked with onions and a tomato sauce, make a hearty and deeply satisfying pasta sauce.

Ingredients

  • 500 g penne rigate
  • 400 g Italian sausages, spicy if possible
  • 6

Method

Heat half the olive oil in a saucepan and sweat the onion rings over a medium heat. They should collapse and colour lightly. This takes half an hour or so, and only needs the occasional stir. While this is cooking make the tomato sauce if you don’t have any ready. Again while the onions are simmering, peel the sausages. This is done by running them under a cold tap then gently but firmly pullin
