Steps

20 mins

1

Cook the pasta for 12 mins in boiling water in a large saucepan
2

Melt a large knob of butter in a large casserole pot or large saucepan on a medium heat
3

Chop up the sausages, skins on, into coin-sized chunks and add them to the pan with the butter, breaking them up as you go. Season them with salt and pepper when you add them, and cook for 6-8 mins until mostly minced and cooked.
4

In the pot with the sausages, add 250 ml passata, the 100 ml chicken stock and paprika and oregano for seasoning. Be fairly generous with both. Simmer for 4-5 mins to reduce it down.
5

Ensure the heat is on medium, and add the creme fraiche, stirring it regularly to melt it and combine it to create a thick sauce.
6

When the creme fraiche is melted, add the grated cheese and fold it into the sauce, followed by handfuls of spinach, being careful not to add too much at once. Stir it to wilt the spinach and combine the sauce.
7

When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pot with the sauce. Fold the pasta in and mix until all the pasta is coated, before topping with parmesan and serving.
