Ingredients
- Red Wine: 150ml red wine (optional)
- Penne: 300g penne
- Parmesan: grated or shaved parmesan, to serve
- Mushroom: 250g pack mushroom, sliced
- Sausage: 6 good-quality sausages, skins removed
- Fennel Seed: 1 tsp fennel seed
- Sauce: 660g jar tomato pasta sauce (we used Loyd Grossman's tomato & chilli)
Directions
- Heat a large, wide frying pan, then crumble in the sausage meat and fennel seeds (there's no need to add any oil). Fry for a few mins until golden and the fat is released, stirring well to break up the meat. Add the mushrooms and fry for a few mins until beginning to soften. Stir in the wine now, if using, bubble for 1 min, then add the tomato sauce and heat through until bubbling.
- Meanwhile, boil the penne. When ready, drain and tip into the sauce. Mix well until completely coated, then divide between four plates, finishing with a little parmesan.
