CDH is a rather fussy eater. Like most men, he doesn’t like … any vegetable. He doesn’t like pasta. He doesn’t like tomatoes in anything except tomato sauce.

So when I create a dish he really loves – a dish he requests week after week – I know I’m on a winner. This pasta is actually almost somewhat healthy, what with the capsicum and the tomato and all that.

Steff Metal’s Sausage Pasta of DOOM

Ingredients (for 2):

3 sausages of your choice (I like highly-flavoured sausages like italian tomato ones from the butcher, or choritzo)

1 capsicum or 2 half-capsicums of difering colours (I like multi-coloured meals)

ten black olives (optional)

can of diced tomatoes

1 tbsp chopped parsley (fresh, if you’ve got it)

2 heaped handfuls of penne pasta

olive oil

1 onion, chopped into teensy pieces

1-2 garlic cloves, chopped

salt & pepper, to season

1. Heat the oil in a pan. While that’s heating up, put the pasta on to boil in some salt water.

2. add the onion and stir for a minute. Chop the sausages into circles and add those, along with the garlic, capsicum and olives. Fry briskly for about 10-15 minutes till the sausages are brown and everything else is sot.

3. Add about three tablespoons of tomatoes (just enough to cover – it’s not a watery dish) and the parsley and basil. Stir for about 4 minutes.

4. Serve over pasta with a little italian bread and a salad. Yummers

Now try that and tell me it ain’t yum.
