Ingredients

• 120gr of dried pasta (just for guidance, you can add more or less for 2!)

• Water to boil pasta

• 170gr Italian style chicken chipolatas (we bought ours from Aldi but use whatever sausages you want), chopped into small-sized pieces

• 1tsp dried Italian seasoning

• 4 garlic cloves, chopped

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 2 celery sticks, finely chopped

• 4 tomatoes, chopped

• 1/3 courgette, chopped into quarters

• 1 yellow pepper, chopped

• 1 handful of chestnut mushrooms, chopped

• Sea salt & cracked black pepper to taste

• Olive oil

• Water for cooking

• Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, heat 1tbsp of olive oil. Fry garlic, onions and celery until soft.

2. Now tip in your chicken sausages. Fry for 4 minutes.

3. Add the courgette, yellow pepper, mushrooms and salt & pepper to taste.

4. Add tomatoes and mix well. Cover with a lid for 7 minutes. Ensuring you check on it once in a while. Add around 1/2 cup of water, we want the tomatoes to start disintegrating to make the delicious pasta sauce.

5. In the meantime, cook your pasta.

6. When your pasta is al-dente, don't worry about draining the pasta. Simply pick up the pasta using tongs or a spaghetti fork and move pasta to the saucepan where your chicken & tomato mixture is in.

7. Mix well and serve immediately. Top with fresh parsley and you are ready to eat!

Enjoy!
