Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 (2) shallots, finely sliced
- 3 cloves (3 cloves) garlic, minced
- 3 (3) Lincolnshire sausages, any type is fine
- 1 (1) yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 400 g (2 ½ cups) tin cherry tomatoes
- 100 ml (3 ⅜ floz) single cream
- 200 g (6 ⅓ cups) spinach, washed
- 1 (1) lemon juice, only
- 400 g (14 oz) penne cooked according to package instructions and drained
Instructions
- Heat some olive oil in a nonstick frying pan and soften the shallots and garlic until they're fragrant. Take the sausage meat out to the casings* (see notes) and add it all to the pan. Pan fry until the shallots are golden and very sweet and the sausage meat is golden brown. This will only take about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the thinly sliced peppers to the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes just to soften the peppers a little. Then pour in the tinned tomatoes and the cream. Bring everything up to a simmer and taste for seasoning and adjust as required.
- Stir in the spinach and let it gently wilt in the heat of the sauce. Once it's wilted squeeze in the lemon juice and toss with the cooked pasta. Serve immediately. You can certainly top this with parmesan cheese (which I did for the final dish) but it's so good and does taste like a complete dinner without it.
Notes
- Note 1- How to cut sausages out of skins- cut along the length and remove the sausage meat from the casing. Break each sausage into large (or small) chunks as you add into the pan. Use the back of a spoon to flatten some of the sausage pieces so that they have a large surface area that browns and crisps up golden and perfect!
- Note 2- If you want to make this a spicy sausage pasta add in some chilli flakes at the stage of the cooking process.
