Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 tbsp virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp paprika flakes
- 12 ounces (340 g) pork sausages
- 14 ounces (400 g) tin crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 tin water
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 cups (237 ml) frozen peas
- Sea salt
- 9 ounces (255 g) spaghetti
- 1 bunch parsley
- Freshly grated parmesan
Instructions
- Squeeze the filling from each sausage and discard the casing. Break up the filling with your fingers and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat (approximately 375°F/190°C). Sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes, add the garlic, paprika, and sausage filling, and stir to break up the meat until no longer raw.
- Add the tomatoes, water, chili, peas, and seasoning. Simmer for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the spaghetti for 8-10 minutes, or according to package directions.
- Toss the chopped parsley over the sauce, drain the spaghetti, and add it to the sauce. Stir and serve garnished with more parsley and parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, brown the sausage filling before adding the tomatoes.
- If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili flakes or omit them entirely.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
