Step 2

Heat a little oil in a pan fry the diced onions till soft (2-3mins). At the same time, put the pasta onto boil & cook to pack instructions until al dente (reserve some pasta water for later!)

Step 3

Then add the minced garlic & chicken sausages and begin to break up the sausages into small pieces with a spatula.

Step 4

Once the chicken pieces begin to brown, add all the spices, rose harissa paste, tomato purée & mix well

Step 5

Stir in the cream cheese and 0.5cup of the pasta water & mix into a silky sauce.

Step 6

Add the al-dente pasta to the sauce & coat in the sauce (adding more pasta water here if needed to thin the sauce).

Step 7
