Ingredients

olive oil 2 tbsp
meat free sausages 4 (chopped)
cherry tomatoes 400 g
gluten free spaghetti 200 g
garlic cloves 2 (crushed)
fresh basil 1 handful
lemon ½ (juice)
tomato purée 4 tbsp
harissa paste 2 tsp
chilli flakes pinch
paprika 1 tsp

Method

Chop the sausages into bite-sized chunks and add to a large non stick pan with the olive oil and the tomatoes and fry for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften. Crush the garlic, chop the basil leaves and juice the lemon.
Cook the pasta in salted water for 10-12 minutes according to the packet instructions. Reserve a couple of tablespoons of the pasta cooking water for the sauce.
Once the tomatoes have softened, squash them with a fork to help release their juices and add in the crushed garlic, chopped basil, lemon juice, tomato puree, harissa paste, chilli flakes, paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes.
Add the drained pasta to the sauce, stirring in a couple of tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water to flavour the sauce. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste. Plate up and enjoy!
