Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 3 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Chopped Tomato: 400g can chopped tomato
  • Courgette: 2 courgettes, sliced on the diagonal then chopped into batons
  • Chilli Flakes: pinch of chilli flakes
  • Mozzarella: 1/2 x 150g ball mozzarella, patted dry and torn into chunks
  • Pork Sausage: 4 good-quality pork sausages
  • Rigatoni: 200g rigatoni

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins, breaking it into little chunks, and pop in the pan. Fry for 8 mins until golden and cooked through. Tip in the courgettes, garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes. Fry for a few mins until just tender. Pour over the chopped tomatoes, season and bubble down for 5 mins or so, adding a splash of water if it's looking too thick.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain and stir through the sauce and spoon everything into 2 small flameproof dishes.
  3. Heat the grill to high. Dot the cheese on top of the sausage dishes, then place under the grill until the cheese is golden and bubbling (about 5-10 mins), and serve.
