Quick Monday Night Dinner - Spicy Sausage Pasta

Cooking every night can be tricky, with so many things needing attention, sometimes meals go straight out the window.

Everyone needs a go to pasta dish for rustling up in next to no time and we thought we'd share our favourite, spicy sausage pasta!

Serves 4

500g pasta
6 good quality sausages, sausage meat discarded and skins thrown away
1 jar of good quality passata
Chilli flakes
1 tsp fennel seeds
Salt and pepper
A little olive oil

Preheat the grill

1. Boil the pasta in a large saucepan of salted water according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and leave to one side in a little cooking water to stop the pasta sticking together.
2. In a little vegetable oil, fry the sausage meat until brown. Make sure it's well broken up with the back of a spoon. Add a sprinkle of chilli flakes and the fennel seeds.
3. Heat up the passata in a saucepan. Stir in the sausages.
4. Pour the sauce over the pasta and mix together. Grate over the cheese of your choice.
5. Place under a medium grill until the cheese is beautifully golden and bubbly.
