One-Pot Spicy Sausage Pasta

One-pot spicy sausage pasta - really simple to make and half the washing up of regular pasta.
Active Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4 portions

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 spicy sausages
  • 1 red chilli - optional
  • 4 servings uncooked dried pasta - see note 1
  • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Finely chop the chilli (if using) and chop the sausages into slices about ½cm thick.
  • Heat the olive oil (1 tsp) in a large pan on a medium heat. Add the sausages and chilli and fry for a couple of minutes until the sausages have browned. Stir regularly to stop the burning.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes (2x 400g cans), pasta (300g) and soy sauce (2 tbsp). Top the pan up with water so that the pasta is just covered - Don't add too much as the sauce won't have enough time to reduce while the pasta is cooking.
  • Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until the pasta is soft with a little bite. Stir occasionally to prevent it burning. If the pan starts to look too dry before the pasta is cooked add a little more water.
  • Serve

NOTES

Note 1 - I used 300g Pennoni Rigati but I've also used penne and fusilli. I wouldn't recommend using fresh pasta for this recipe simply because the pasta is cooked in the sauce. As fresh pasta has a much shorter cooking time the sauce wouldn't have sufficient time to reduce.
Given the soy sauce is quite salty I don't add any additional seasoning. However you may want to add some to suit your tastes.
