Method
step 1
Cook pasta according to pack instructions. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan, then fry the sausages and mushrooms for 5 mins until golden. Add the tomatoes and cook for about another 3 mins on a high heat until the tomatoes pop and start to form a sauce. Season to taste, then add the herbs and drained pasta and stir well.
RECIPE TIPS
LOWER FAT
You can use reduced-fat sausages if you want to cut the fat content of this recipe.
CREAMY MUSTARD PASTA WITH SAUSAGE MEATBALLS
Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins, then roll into small balls with your hands. Fry with the mushrooms as before until golden, add the tomatoes, then fry until they have just softened, rather than popped completely. Add 3 tbsp crème fraîche (or more if you like) and 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard, then heat until the sauce is hot through. Season, stir in the flat-leaf parsley and serve with the drained pasta.

Hello, which vegetables could I add to this dish to bulk it up? Thanks x

goodfoodteam
Hi, thanks for your question. You could fry some sliced red peppers and/or courgettes along with the mushrooms. And/or stir some baby spinach in with the tomatoes. You could also add some cooked kale, chard, savoy cabbage or green beans. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

This was really yummy! I was looking for a recipe to use up leftovers in the fridge and had most of these ingredients except fresh herbs so I just added dry basil and pasta mixed herbs plus a glove of garlic. It was really tasty and really easy, will make again!

Hello, thank you for your question. Slices of courgette or red pepper would be good alternatives to mushroom in this recipe. Hope that helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team

This is a really nice simple recipe and good comfort food. I use chipolata sausages. Usually I'll make an extra portion which I can heat up later in the week when I don't have time to cook. I normally add some rucola at the end and I stir through a hand of grated parmesan to make it a little bit…

i added a tin of chopped tomatoes, garlic and chillies to it, was lovely, don't think i'll use rosemary next time, was a bit over powering with it
