Delicious Spicy Sausage Pasta
Simple spicy sausage pasta is a simple and delicious main meal with store cupboard essentials.
Ingredients
- ½ medium smoked sausage with garlic - I used Matesons, but if you live near a European Deli, Kielbasa works just as well and has a lot more of a garlic kick!
6 medium sausages- ¼ pound pancetta - cubed
3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
1 large jar passata or crushed tomatoes (tomato puree with seeds removed)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
½ teaspoon chili flakes (chilli flakes in British English)
Instructions
- Push the sausage meat out of the skin and roll it into small balls. Each sausage should make roughly four or five mini sausage meatballs.
- Fry the mini sausage meatballs in a little oil until crispy on the outside and set to one side.
- Fry the pancetta and the smoked sausage in the leftover oil until they are crispy, being careful that they don’t burn, and set aside with the sausage meatballs.
- De-glaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar and then add the passata, black pepper, and chilli flakes.
- Cook for a minute or two, and then transfer the sausage meatballs, pancetta, and smoked sausage back into the pan.
- Cook for 10 minutes on medium-high heat until the sauce has thickened and reduced by a third.
- During this time, cook the pasta as per the instructions on the packet. If you are using spaghetti or tagliatelle, add some oil to the water to stop it from sticking.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it but add a little of the pasta water to the sauce to give it a nice sheen.
- Toss the pasta in the sauce.
