This is a base meant to be tweaked. Skip the sausage and use halloumi for a veggie version. Add some spinach and broccoli for a more veggie-heavy version. A truly lovely recipe that feels like the definition of wholesome food — comforting, easy, and endlessly adaptable.
Ingredients
- Pasta, I like Mezze Maniche400g/1pkt
- Sausage, like choritzo300g
- Yellow onion1
- Garlic3 cloves
- Crossed tomato400g
- Ful fat cream1dl
- Salt, peper and Oliv oile
Method
- Start with heting a pot of generesly salted water to a boil, when boiling add the pasta and cook it al denta.
- Cut the sausage into samll disks, the onion should be sliced with the fibers(the other way then if you want half mones) and the finlly shop the garlic
- Heat a larg frying pan(we are doing the sause in this pan) and start frying the sausage in olive oile for a couple of minutes, add the onion and garlic and fry for another couple of minutes. Add the crossed tomatos and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Now the pasta should be done and the sause should have bubled for a little bit. Add the cream and taste with salt and pepper for taste. Add the pasta and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to get the sause to really stick to the pasta, then it is done.
One thing that helps. If you under cook the pasta a litlle, you can cook it longer in the sause. Another tip is to save some pasta water if you have it as a matlåda, then just heat the matlåda with the pasta water in a pot and it is almost as good as new.
