This is a beautifully rustic number and should bring to mind the sunshine-soaked rolling hills of Tuscany. What's more, it'll be ready in the time it takes a bottle of Chianti to breathe. Enjoy!

Red Onion
0.1 pinch
Chilli Flakes
Trim the courgette then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces. Halve, peel and finely chop the red onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Boil your kettle with water to use for the pasta.
Put a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat and fry the courgette, onion and garlic until starting to soften, 5 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add a little more oil to the (now empty) pan. Add the sausage meat and fry until browned, about 5 mins. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
When the sausage meat has browned, return the vegetables to the pan. Add the chopped tomatoes along with a pinch of sugar (if you have some). Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 10 mins.
While the sauce is cooking, pour the water from the kettle into a large saucepan and bring back to the boil. Add the linguine and a large pinch of salt to your pan of boiling water. Cook for 12 mins. Tip! Add a splash of the pasta water to the sauce if it starts to look too thick!
When the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander. Add the drained pasta to the pan with the sauce and toss or stir together.
If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of chilli flakes to the pasta before serving. Careful - the chilli flakes are hot! Sprinkle over the hard Italian cheese and garnish with the lemon, cut into wedges. Enjoy!
