Ingredients

Ingredients required:

- Pasta! (rigatoni, penne or tagliatelle are personal favourites)

- 4 sausages

- A couple of slices of chorizo, diced.

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 onion, diced.

- 2 garlic cloves, crushed.

- 1 bell pepper, diced.

- 400g can chopped tomatoes

- 1 vegetable stock

- 1 tbsp tomato puree

- Italian herb seasoning

- 1 tsp sugar

- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instruments required:

- Large frying pan, with lid.

- Wooden spoon

Method:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

2. While your oil is heating up, season your sausages with a pink of salt and pepper, and dice your bell pepper and onion.

3. Add the crushed garlic cloves and diced onion to your pan and sauté for about a minute, or until lightly browned.

4. Add the sausages and diced pepper to the pan. Fry with the lid on initially to help the sausages cook through. Once they start to brown, remove the lid and add the chorizo. Fry until the sausages develop a crispy edge.

5. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, 1 tbsp of tomato puree, 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp of sugar and season with salt, pepper, oregano and basil; mix everything together then bring to the boil.

6. Serve in a bowl with a bit of cheese on the top!
