- Slice your pork sausages into 1/2 inch pieces. Season them with the paprika, mild chilli powder, onion granules and oregano. Add oil to a frying pan over medium heat, and fry sausages for around 8 minutes, till cooked through.
- Remove sausages when cooked and add onion and red pepper to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes then add garlic. Cook until softened.
- Add tin tomatoes, tomato puree, a pinch of salt and generous amount of black pepper and mixed herbs. Bring to boil then allow to simmer.
- In the meantime, cook your pasta according to packet instructions.
- Once sauce has simmered into a thick consistency it is ready, I like to add black olives to mine and let it simmer for 2 minutes longer. Add sausages and heat through.
- Mix pasta and sauce together, topped with grated cheese if wished.
