We have a dilemma, those herby pork sausages look so tasty but we’re also really wanting a cheesy 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!
1 packet
Soffritto Mix
1 sachet
Nan's Special Seasoning
1
Fusilli
(Contains: Gluten, May contain traces of allergens, Soy, Wheat; )
8
herbed pork sausage
(Contains: Sulphites, May contain traces of allergens, Sulphites, Wheat, Gluten; )
1 packet
Tomato Paste
1 packet
Cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
2
Garlic
1 packet
Baby Spinach Leaves
• 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.
• 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 creamy 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!
