You will need

500g x Best Italian Sausages - you will be removing the casings

Olive oil

1 x Medium large brown onion

3 x Cloves garlic finely diced

2 x Tablespoons tomato paste

1/2 x Cup white wine

1 x Tin Italian diced tomatoes

1 x Cup heavy cream

Parmiggiano cheese for serving sprinkle

Method

Remove the casings from the sausages by slicing length wise and using a spoon remove the fillings. Break the fillings into 2cm size pieces then in a pan with a little olive oil, brown the sausage meat pieces and set aside.

Next, in the same pan add a little more olive oil and the onions and fry down until soft then add the tomato paste to the pan and allow to sit for a few minutes to remove the bitterness then stir into the onions.

Now, add the white wine, stir to deglaze the pan then add the tomatoes and 3 x teaspoons of the spices from the Spice Road Tuscan Natural Spice Seasoning together with salt if using. Stir to bring everything together then add the heavy cream and the parsley and return the sausage pieces to the pan and continue cooking for 10 minutes to be ready for the pasta.

Next add the Rigatoni pasta to salted boiling water in a saucepan and cook to directions on the packet. When cooked simply take the pasta from the cooking water directly to the pan with the sausage meat and sauce - do not drain as you will lose much of the pasta flavour.

Stir everything together, sprinkle with the grated parmiggiano cheese and you will have an amazing Italian Pasta Ragu. Perfect for a busy mid week or special dinner for great flavour.
