Creamy Sausage & Fennel Pasta

Cook the pasta & prep the ingredients

• Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Reserve some pasta water as you may want to use it in step 5.
• Thinly slice the fennel. Peel and crush the garlic. Chop the parsley. Remove the sausages from their casings and break the sausage meat into bite size pieces.

Cook the sauce

• Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and fry for 4-5 minutes until brown all over.
• Add the fennel and garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes until the fennel starts to soften.
• Add the tomato puree and cook for 2-3 minutes, stir in the cream and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you want to loosen the sauce, you can add some of the pasta water.
• Add pasta to the pan and toss well to coat it in the sauce.

Plate up

• Plate up the Sausage & Fennel Pasta and scatter over the parsley and lashings of Parmesan. Enjoy!
