Quick and tasty, the combination most busy people would die for - and it's not a packet meal! Pasta is generally a speedy meal, as it can't stand for long and the best sauces are often the ones that take less than 10 minutes (exception to a Ragu or hearty type sauce). When fresh ingredients are thrown together in the right proportions, and tossed in some hot pasta, there's little to top that. Herbs are even easier, chop a bunch up and serve on plain ol' spaghetti with a drizzle of olive oil and a crack of seasoning and your guests are elated.
In this recipe I demonstrate just how quick and easy it can be. I used lamb sausage because that's what was in the fridge, a great alternative would be chorizo or Italian sausage. Just scrumptious.
Ingredients:
Pasta of your choice
Sausage of your choice
Disc of feta
Garlic
Half an onion
Dry white wine
Half a chili (or more - test it first)
Cherry tomatoes (fresh is good, but tinned can also be used - I used both)
Basil
In a pan, heat some olive oil or butter and fry onions and garlic gently. Add cut sausage pieces and continue on a medium heat. (some sausage contains a lot of fat, you will see oil accumulating in the pan, just hold back onion and sausage mix and drain off all the excess fat). Add a splash of wine and tomatoes (halved if fresh and whole if tinned) and stir gently so not to break the tomatoes. Heat some water with a frizzle of oil and pinch of salt. Cook pasta.
Chop basil and feta and strain pasta - do not wash the pasta with water, just strain in a colander. Toss pasta with tomatoes and add basil and feta, mix gently to coat everything. Serve the a dusting of Parmesan and enjoy.
