Cavatappi Pasta with a Cherry Tomato & Parmesan Sauce Recipes

Cooking Time: 15 - 30 mins
Serves: 4   

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
350g cavatappi or fusilli pasta
225g sausages - the meat removed from the skins
1 clove garlic, peeled & crushed
100g button mushrooms left whole (optional)
1 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 x 350g jar Sacla' Whole Cherry Tomato & Parmesan Pasta Sauce
1 tablespoon Italian flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Put a pan of salted water on to boil for the pasta and cook according to the packet instructions.

Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil into a frying pan, add thumbnail-sized pieces of the sausage meat and fry over a lowish heat for 6 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage meat to a bowl. Add the rest of the oil to the pan, add the garlic, then the mushrooms and oregano and cook for 5-6 minutes until tender. Return the sausages to the pan and add the Whole Cherry Tomato & Parmesan Sauce. Season, then reduce the heat down to low and keep warm.

When it's ready, drain the pasta and tip into the pan with the sausages and sauce. Mix well and divide between 4 warm pasta bowls. Sprinke over a handful of fresh chopped parsley to serve. Just as delicious with Sacla' Whole Cherry Tomato & Roasted Vegetables Sauce for an evenmore wholesome version!
