Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tbsp olive oil
4 good-quality pork sausages
2 courgettes , sliced on the diagonal then chopped into batons
3 garlic cloves , finely sliced
pinch of chilli flakes
400g can chopped tomato
200g rigatoni
½ x 150g ball mozzarella , patted dry and torn into chunks

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins, breaking it into little chunks, and pop in the pan. Fry for 8 mins until golden and cooked through. Tip in the courgettes, garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes. Fry for a few mins until just tender. Pour over the chopped tomatoes, season and bubble down for 5 mins or so, adding a splash of water if it's looking too thick.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Drain and stir through the sauce and spoon everything into 2 small flameproof dishes.
  • Heat the grill to high. Dot the cheese on top of the sausage dishes, then place under the grill until the cheese is golden and bubbling (about 5-10 mins), and serve.
