Cooking Steps

1

Halve, peel and chop the onion into small chunks (½ cm is ideal). Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press) and roughly chop the parsley. Grate the parmesan cheese.

2

Heat a splash of olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Slit the skin on the sausage, remove the meat, discard the skin and then fry the sausage meat for 5 mins until the edges start to crisp. Tip: Use a wooden spoon to break the sausage meat up into pieces as it cooks.

3

Add the onions and cook until softened, 5 mins. Stir occasionally. Add your garlic and italian herbs and cook until fragrant, 2 mins, followed by the tomato puree for a further 2 mins. TIP: You don't need all of the italian herbs, so be sure to check the ingredients list, to see how much you need!

4

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and allow your ragu to simmer gently, until reduce and thickened, 12-15 mins. Season with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Tip: At this point add a sprinkle of sugar, if you have some, to lift the flavour of the tomatoes.

5

While your ragu is cooking, add the pappardelle to the boiling water and cook for 7 mins until ‘al dente’. Tip: ‘Al dente’ simply means the pasta is cooked through but has a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle - taste it as you go to get it just right.

6

Once cooked, drain the pasta and drizzle over a little oil to stop it sticking together. Add the pasta to your ragu along with half of the parsley. Serve your pappardelle ragu on plates and top with the remaining parsley and the parmesan cheese.
