Notes about this recipe

    I used this recipe as inspiration, but totally changed the proportions to make the sauce more veggie-centric. Used just one sausage (Field Roast Italian) with three carrots, three celery stalks, four spring onions, four garlic cloves, one hot chile, and about 20 oz of tomatoes. No additional salt beyond what came from the tomatoes and sausage. Served the pasta and sauce topped with freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley -- I didn't think it needed cheese. I simmered only briefly, as recommended in the recipe, and like the fresh-tasting result. Outstanding payoff for effort. Will make again exactly like this.

    Very easy to assemble and very tasty. Will definitely make this again, also after pregnancy! ;-)

    This is really delicious / super tasty pasta and sauce

    This was really good! I had some leftover sausages which I needed to use up and this dish was what showed up in my EYB search. As per the other reviewers' notes I let the sauce cook much longer, close to 45 minutes. I also did not add the chilli (for the kids) and used whole canned tomatoes, which worked well. Will definitely make again!

    This was a really tasty dish. I used 1 lb of hot Italian sausages, and so I swapped 1/2 a red bell pepper for the chiles and reduced the fennel to 1/2 teaspoon. (All I had in the pantry anyway!) Like Melanie, I let my sauce cook a bit longer since I had some extra time, but this was still an easy one to prepare.

    This pasta definitely passed the test! Tasted great – we used chorizo sausages and skipped the celery & basil (none at hand) and chillies (cooking for non spicy food eaters). If making just for myself I would add the chillies back in. Note that I had it slightly easier as my sister had already thrown the meat and veggies into the food processor and I just had to cook it later on. I still let the sauce cook for about 40 minutes though, pushing this dish way past the overall 30 minute meal mark. I think the flavour made up for it though so I would leave it to cook for a while next time anyway. I served this with garlic bread and a salad of rocket, parmesan and lemon juice and would probably do the same again next time.
