Simple Sausage Meat Ragu Recipes

SIMPLE SAUSAGE MEAT RAGU

Steps:

• Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan pan and sweat off your onions and garlic.
• Cut the skin of the sausages and pinch small pieces of sausage into the pan and cook until browned. Stir in a pinch of salt.
• Add chilli and fennel and cook for around 1 minute.
• Pour in the tomatoes and a splash of wine and simmer for 20 minutes.
• During this time, cook the pasta as directed on the packet. (Don't forget to add a couple of tablespoons of the pasta 'juice' into the pan with the meat etc simmering - adds a bit of flavour and sauce-y-ness)
• When the pasta is done, strain and add it to the pan with the ragu. Stir in so the sauce gets all over the pasta.
• Serve with chopped parsley and Parmesan.
