Spicy Sausage Pasta

60ml olive oil

250g chipolata sausages

2 red onions, halved and thinly sliced 1 red chilli, seeded and chopped 1kg ripe tomatoes, skinned and diced 180ml white wine

15ml tomato paste

5ml dried oregano

5ml sugar salt and pepper

250g penne pasta

Parmesan shavings to serve

Heat 15ml of the oil in a frying pan and cook the sausages. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.

Heat 30ml of the oil in a frying pan and cook the onions over medium heat until soft.

Add the chilli, tomatoes, wine, tomato paste, oregano and sugar.

Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened but not too dry.

Slice the sausages into pieces and add to the sauce. Season well.

Cook the penne pasta according to the instructions, drain and combine with the sauce.

Serve immediately topped with Parmesan shavings. I used a combination of chicken and pork chipolata sausages.

Serves 6-8.
