Sausage and Courgette Pasta

This Sausage and Courgette Pasta is a hearty and flavorful Italian-inspired dish combining savory sausage with tender courgettes for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g pasta (penne or fusilli)
  • 2 sausages, sliced
  • 1 large courgette, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 100ml chicken stock
  • 50ml cream (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausages and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the courgette slices and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
  5. Pour in the chicken stock and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. If using, add the cream and stir well, allowing the sauce to thicken a little. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, mixing everything together until well combined and heated through.
  8. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of chili flakes or a splash of white wine to the sauce while cooking.
