Step 1

Chop the onion and pepper into smallish pieces

Step 2

Chop the each sausage into 6, you can remove the skins if you want but not essential.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low/medium heat. Only for a minute or two. You can test if it's ready by popping a piece of onion or pepper in the pan, if it sizzles gently it's ready, if not leave a little longer but keep an eye on it as you don't want it to get too hot. Adjust the heat if it seems too hot - smoking oil is too hot 😉

Step 4

Add the onion and peppers and fry till softened (about 5 mins)

Step 5

Add the garlic clove or paste, cook for another 3-4 mins

Step 6

Add the sausage, fennel seeds and mild chilli powder, stir well.

Step 7

Cook until the sausage meat balls are browned all over (about 8-10 mins) Turn the heat down if things are browning too quickly

Step 8

Add the chopped tomatoes, half stock pot and ketchup if using - add a small amount of water to the tin, swirl to rinse and add to the pan

Step 9

Simmer for 15-20 mins until the sauce has thickened - If it thickens too quickly add a little more water.

Step 10

Whilst the sauce simmers, boil the kettle, put the pasta in your saucepan and then add enough water to cover the pasta by about an inch. Cook the pasta for 10-15 mins, drain and serve.
