Pasta, Spicy Sausage Meat & Wild Mushrooms

Even if I'm only cooking this for two I'll still cook enough for four people and have the leftovers for lunch the next day.

​

Serves 4

​

Ingredients

​

1 onion, peeled and finely chopped

1 large clover garlic, peeled and finely chopped

255g organic spicy sausage, meat removed from skin

Olive oil

2 handfuls of fresh thyme, stalks removed

1-2 small dried red chillies, crumbled, to taste

400g wild mushrooms (blewits, chanterelles, oyster & shiitake), torn

400g pasta

Salt & pepper

3 knobs of butter

1 handful of parsley, chopped

1 handful of grated Parmesan cheese

​

Method

​

Fry the onions, garlic and sausage meat in a little olive oil until lightly golden. Add the thyme, chillies and mushrooms. Continue to fry, cooking away any moisture from the mushrooms.

​

Cook the pasta in boiling water until al dente. Reserve the a little cooking water and then drain.

​

Remove the frying pan from the heat, season to taste and add in the 3 knobs of butter and a little cooking water from the pasta. 

​

Toss the pasta with everything from the frying pan and then serve.

​

Garnish with parsley and Parmesan and serve immediately.
