Yes, I know there are other tomato sausage pasta recipes here, but this one is a bit different and by far my favourite! The semi sundried tomatoes and sage add a lot of flavour; any pasta can be used. This is based on a recipe from "Super Food Ideas" - we love it at my house, hope you do too!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4-6 spicy sausage (such as chorizo)
2-4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (400 g) can crushed tomatoes
3/4 cup semi sun-dried tomato, roughly chopped
60 ml dry white wine
300 ml cream (can use lite)
6 spring onions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped sage leaves or 2 teaspoon dried sage
400 g fettuccine or pasta, of choice

Directions

1
Heat olive oil in frying pan, cook sausages for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.
2
Remove from pan and chop roughly, cover to keep warm.
3
Return pan to medium heat and add garlic, crushed and sundried tomatoes, white wine and cream and bring to the boil.
4
Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
5
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, drain.
6
Stir cooked sausage, spring onions and sage through sauce, season to taste.
7
Divide pasta among serving bowls and spoon over sauce.

I did use Chorizos which I never used in a tomato sauce I go for Italian hot sausage. Which would work great with the fresh sage! Not this wasn`t good! I liked the change. Loved the sun dried tomatoes. I used twice the amount of crushed tomatoes. I used fat free 1/2 & 1/2 which seperated a bit. ( my fault but no big deal)So go for the real thing or none at all. Thanks!

I really liked this, Hubby doesn't really like creamy tomato sauces but he said this one was ok, which is good for him. But i thought it was very good! I used sundried tomatoes in oil since not sure what semi-dried ones are. And also used crumbled italian sausage. Thanks for a new pasta dish!

A good quick and easy recipe for a weeknight. I used sweet Italian turkey sausage, and it was nice with the sauce. I didn't have the semi sun-dried tomatoes, and will have to try that next time. If using the regular sun-dried again, I think I'll reduce the quantity, as they were a little strong. The sage was a very nice touch. Thanks for posting this recipe.

This was really good, and as I bought my sausages cooked and chopped, it was very quick to make, too! I had to do some Internet searching to find out how much one sausage weighs - I concluded it's about 90 g and used 350 g of chopped sausage for this recipe. Seemed about right! Also found out that semi sun-dried tomatoes sometimes go by the name of sun kissed tomatoes; a wonderful product and I'm glad Beck's recipes have introduced me to it! The spring onions add a lovely fresh crunch as they are not cooked till soggy, just heated gently - was very happy about that!! This made for a really nice meal and will certainly get made again. Thanks for sharing!
