Sausage is a comfort food, and pasta can be as well. Combined together, you get a double pleasure. No matter how bad your day was, it will bring a big smile on your face. And a generous pour of red wine to go with the pasta, of course! My personal favourite is pork and apple cider sausages.

Ingredients

• 350 gm penne pasta
• 1 packet of pork sausages
• Olive Oil
• 1 brown onion finely chopped
• 2 chopped garlic cloves
• splash of red wine
• 1 punnet of grape tomatoes

Method

1. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. Dain well.
