Preparation

PREPARATION: Finely chop the onions, oregano and tomatoes .Grate the cloves of garlic. Thinly chop the oregano .

Cook the sausages half way through and take of heat and cut them into bite size pieces.

COOKING: In a shallow fry pan on medium heat ,heat oil and sauté the garlic and onions for few minutes.

Add the sausages, basil and oregano and cook till all the juices from the sausages have infused with the onions, garlic and the herbs.A very yummy yummy mix.

Add the tomatoes, salt and chilli and cook for 10 minutes .By this time the tomatoes would be turning saucy.

Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add some beef stock if you wish to enhance the sauce a little bit more and also for some leftover sauce for the next day.

While the sauce is simmering away and everything is happy together it’s time to bring the water to a boil so you can get your pasta ready for the sauce.

Usually I use a large pot half filled with water. I add some salt and a teaspoon of oil to prevent the pasta from sticking to each other.

Slowly put your pasta into the boiling water and cook till desired tenderness. Drain and put in a serving bowl. Take sauce of heat, serve and enjoy.

I usually mix the sauce into the pasta, plate it and garnish it with parmesan cheese and serve it that way.

Serve it anyway you wish, it will be tasty either way.

Compliment it with a glass of wine, cheese bread or just the way it is .Lots of nice tongue tingling flavours.
