Converted from metric

  • 10 splashes extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (peeled and diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
  • 2 pork sausages (low-fat, skinned and cut into small cubes)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar of modena
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seed
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • salt (to taste)
  • 3.5oz pasta twists, such as fusilli
  • 3.5oz tinned chopped tomatoes
  • 0.9oz italian grana padano
  • pepper (to taste)

Directions

Step 1

Spray a large wok or frying pan with the olive oil spray, and over a low to medium heat, cook the onions; when they are nearly cooked, add the garlic and then the cubed and skinned sausages.

Fry for a further 6 to 8 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked.

Set aside and add the Balsamic vinegar, fennel seeds and oregano to the sausage mix.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook your pasta according to the instructions on the packet.

Drain, and add the tinned tomatoes, and then stir in the sausage mixture; reheat gently and then serve in bowls with shavings of the Grana Padano cheese over the top.
