QUICK BOEREWORS PASTA

Ingredients

• 200 to 250g linguini

• 400g good quality boerewors

• 500ml cherry tomatoes

• 60 to 80ml Parmesan cheese

• 1 handful fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

• 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

• 125ml tomato passata or jarred tomato sauce

Cooking Instructions

1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente.

2. Slice the sausage up into smallish discs and fry in a non-stick pan until the meat starts going brown and is just cooked through. Remove the meat and it drain on paper towel as a lot of fat is rendered out. Discard the fat and return the pan, which is now just coated in a thin layer of the leftover fat, to the heat.

3. Flash cook the tomatoes until heated through. Add the sausage back to the pan with the basil, chilli and passata and heat through. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper.

4. Serve with the pasta and Parmesan cheese.
