Ingredients
- 200g penne pasta
- 3 fat sausages
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 250g bag spinach
- 3 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
- 50g parmesan, grated
Italian-style sausages
Spicy Italian-style add great authentic flavour if you like things a bit hotter. If you can't find any, add a pinch of dried chilli flakes to ordinary sausagemeat.
Method
-
Cook the pasta according to pack
instructions. Meanwhile, squeeze the
sausages from their skins, then roughly break
the meat into 12 pieces. Roll into balls.
-
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the
sausage balls, then cook over a medium heat
until golden, about 5 mins. Pile the spinach
on top of the sausage balls and cook, stirring
frequently, for 2-3 mins until completely
wilted. Season with a little salt and plenty
of ground black pepper, then toss in the
toasted pine nuts.
-
Add the drained pasta to the sausages
and spinach, then toss well, adding half the
parmesan. Serve spooned into individual
serving bowls with the rest of the parmesan
scattered on top.
