Ingredients

300g Asda Fusilli or other short-cut pasta

1 tbsp sunflower oil

454g Asda Extra Special Pork Sausages, each cut in 4

½ 225g pack Asda Sliced Red Onion or 1 medium red onion, sliced

1 tbsp tomato purée

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

½ level tsp sugar

1 level tsp dried rosemary

Method

1
Heat a large pan of lightly salted water until boiling. Add the pasta, stir, bring back to the boil and simmer fast, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is just cooked. Drain and return to the pan.
2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan, add the sausages and cook over a medium heat, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until browned.
3
Add the onion and continue to cook, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes until the sausages are cooked and the onion is soft.
4
Add the mixed peppers, tomatoes, tomato purée, vinegar, sugar, rosemary, chilli flakes (if using) and peas, then heat until simmering. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Stir the sauce through the pasta and serve immediately.
