This recipe is a variation on puttanesca, with the anchovy swapped out for Italian sausage. I used spaghetti, but this chunky sauce works just as well with a wide noodle like pappardelle.

I love all things Italian and pasta. I put together this quick meal one night after much running around with my teenage daughters. I used everyday ingredients found in my pantry and refrigerator. Given the day and items on hand, I will add asparagus or mushrooms if available. I hope you enjoy.

Really delicious with the basil and vinegar kick

I had some left over lamb and spinach from the lamb burger recipe and needed to make something that was quick. It only took until the noodles boiled and a few extra minutes to heat up the meat and spinach to cook!

This recipe works well with light flavored sausages. I used a herb de provence turkey sausage.

Pasta's great isn't it? It's fast, it's delicious, and it's the perfect meal to improvise whenever your original plan goes sideways. Like it did tonight, for me, when the mince I was defrosting for a pepper stuffing didn't thaw in time. Fortunately, there were mushrooms and a zucchini in the fridge, and all that was needed to transform them into a delicious dinner was a quick hop to the supermarket to pick up a little sausage and cream. In the end, despite being Plan B, the dish turned out wonderful. Meaty and rich from the sausage and mushrooms, with pops of juicy sweetness from the zucchini, and a splash of silky cream to bring it all together. It was pretty much perfect.

A comforting dish that combines the rich, natural flavors of savory Italian sausage and velvety tomato paste. The sausage is cooked to perfection, its fat rendered to create a luscious roux that forms the base of a smooth, full-bodied sauce. Delicately balanced with a hint of aromatics, including garlic zested into a silky paste for an even, subtle flavor, the sauce coats every strand of seasoned al dente angel hair pasta. This dish offers a harmonious blend of rich sausage undertones, subtle tomato sweetness, and a velvety finish that spreads effortlessly across every bite.

Great meal for a big family! Leftovers keep for about a week. This was a Del Monte recipe. I forgot the original title.

MY VERSIONDARK SAUCE IS CARMELIZE SAUCEDARKER IN COLOUR AND A LIGHTLY SWEET FLAVOURORIENTAL STYLE PASTALOVING IT

I love making fresh pasta but it is so time consuming (ultimately too costly to my clients) so I substitute Artisan pasta instead. This recipe was something I whipped up for a family who wanted a meat sauce and some fun, colourful pasta. It's simple and tasty - a winning combination
