We have a dilemma, those herby pork sausages look so tasty but we’re also really wanting a creamy pasta. If you feel the same, then the solution is right here - let’s have both in a pork sausage penne! There’s no need for compromise when you can have both! *We’ve replaced the fusilli in this recipe with fusilli due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!*
1 packet
Soffritto Mix
1 sachet
Nan's Special Seasoning
1
Fusilli
(Contains: Gluten, Wheat; May be present: Soy)
4
herbed pork sausage
(Contains: Gluten, Wheat, Sulphites; May be present: Sulphites)
1 packet
Tomato Paste
1 packet
Cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
2
Garlic
1 packet
Baby Spinach Leaves
1 drizzle
olive oil
½ tsp
brown sugar

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and a pinch of salt. • Cook penne 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 penne 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.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook soffritto mix, stirring until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add the sausage meat and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic, Nan’s special seasoning and tomato paste, then cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir through cream (see ingredients), baby leaves, reserved pasta water and the brown sugar, until reduced slightly, 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, then stir through cooked penne.

• Divide Nan’s creamy pork sausage penne between bowls. • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
