Serves 4
Cook time: 32 minutes | Prep time: 15 minutes | Total: 47minutes
What you’ll need
250g halved plum tomatoes
1 chopped orange bell pepper
1 diced small red onion
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
Pinch of salt
1 tsp basil
1 tsp smoked paprika
80g cubed cheese (I used vegan violife)
400ml hot water
100ml milk (I used oat)
8 chopped turkey sausages
240g gluten free dried penne pasta
Optional: Parsley to garnish
Method
Start by oiling a hot pot with avocado oil, and when heated throw in your tomatoes, onion, and pepper. Fry off for a couple of minutes.
While this is happening, boil your kettle. First add your garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and basil to the pot and mix well. Continue to fry for two more minutes.
You should now notice your tomatoes beginning to break down. Add your water and preferred milk. Mix well and leave to reduce on a high heat while we move on to prepare our sausage.
Oil a large pan (needs to be large enough for the sauce and pasta), and cut each sausage up into 6 equal parts. Fry until golden brown. If the pan is hot it should take 3-4 minutes.
Now add the sauce to the pan and mix well. Add the pasta and cheese, mix, and leave to steam for 11 minutes.
