Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and a pinch of salt.
• Cook fusilli in the boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people/ 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return fusilli to the pan. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• While the pasta is cooking, finely chop garlic.
• Squeeze herbed pork sausage meat out of its casing and place in a bowl.
Little cooks: Help with squeezing out the pork sausage meat!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook soffritto mix until softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add the sausage meat and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes (Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• Add garlic, Nan's special seasoning and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir through cream (see ingredients), baby spinach leaves, reserved pasta water and the brown sugar, until reduced slightly, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, then stir through fusilli.
• Divide Nan’s cheesy pork sausage fusilli between bowls.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch and help sprinkle over the cheese!
