Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, add salted water and bring to the boil. Add pasta and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. While the pasta cooks, make the sauce. In a medium frying pan, add the olive oil, heat on medium high, add the sausage meat and break up with a wooden spoon while it caramelizes, until it’s in small pieces.
  3. Add the Fennel Seeds, stir and fry for another minute or two. Add the onion, let it soften for a couple of minutes while stirring. Add the Garlic Granules, tomato puree and tinned tomatoes, plus half a can of water, stir well and leave to simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once the sauce is reduced, season to taste. Once cooked, drain pasta and add to the sauce (add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce). Stir well and serve topped with grated parmesan if you like.
  5. Cooking Tip To get the sausages out of their skins, run the sausages under cold water for 10 seconds, make a cut down the centre length ways and peel the skin away.
