Ingredients:

6 good-quality sausages, skins removed

1 tsp fennel seed

250g pack mushroom, sliced

150ml red wine (optional)

660g jar tomato pasta sauce (we used Loyd Grossman’s tomato & chilli)

300g penne

grated or shaved parmesan, to serve

Equipment:

frying pan,

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.
