In a frying pan over a medium heat, warm the olive oil then add the onions, mushroom and courgette and cook and stir until soft, about 6 to 9 minutes.
Add the tinned tomatoes, sliced sausage, chilli and garlic and season well. Cook and stir for a few minutes.- Meanwhile bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil then add the pasta. Cook according to the instructions on the packet, or until al dente then drain.
This is the point you can add a splash of red wine to the sausage mixture, if using, then simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add chopped fresh basil a couple of minutes before serving.
Add your sauce to your pasta, mix gently and serve.
Tip
If you want a thicker sauce, dissolve a heaped teaspoon of cornflour with a few drops of water to dissolve then stir into the sauce to thicken.
