Recipe by Rachel Allen from Rachel's Favourite Food

Pin It

We make this at the cookery school quite a bit ,and people always love it. Just leave out the sausage for a vegetarian pasta sauce. It also freezes well.

Serves 6

Ingredients

25 g butter
700 g fresh ripe tomatoes peeled & chopped roughly or 2x400g tins of tomatoes
4 garlic cloves grated or crushed
2 teaspoons chopped rosemary
Some sugar, salt & pepper
225 g chorizo sausages or cabanossi sausage, sliced into 1\2 cm rounds
Dried chilli flake
175 ml cream
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
500 g penne or rigatoni, farfalle etc
4 tablespoons grated parmesan

Method

Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the chopped tomatoes, garlic and rosemary.
Season with salt, pepper and sugar ( the sugar really helps the tomatoes).
Cook until the tomatoes have just begun to soften, about 5 mins.
Add the sausage to the pan with the chilli flakes, cream and half the chopped parsley,
Allow to simmer with the lid off until the mixture has reduced by half, stirring frequently.
Take off the heat and taste for seasoning.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water, into which you have added 1 dst salt, until it is just cooked, then drain and toss with the sauce.
Put into a great big serving bowl and scatter with the grated parmesan cheese and the rest of the parsley.
NOTE FOR COOKING PASTA: If you need to cook your pasta slightly ahead of time,keep about 50ml of the pasta cooking water in with the pasta and a good glug of olive oil.

This recipe is really great i have made a few of Rachels pasta recipes and this one tops them so far. I also love the chilli flakes in it, it gives it that little extra heat.
