Italian Chicken Sausage Pasta

I don't normally buy chicken sausage but they came free with an order and I wasn't sure what to do with them, the idea of normal sausage usage didn't sit well! Much like anything though, they're better with pasta.

Ingredients

• 350g pasta

• 6 chicken sausages, chopped

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 3 cups passata/marinara sauce 

• ½ cup whole milk

• ¼ cup double cream

• 2 cups frozen peas

• 1 tsp crushed chilli 

• Salt and pepper to taste

• ½ cup parmesan

Method

1. Cook pasta as per instructions.

2. Add the olive oil to a large pan and cook the chicken sausage.

3. Add the butter and garlic and sauté for 1 min.

4. Reduce heat and add the marinara sauce, milk, cream, peas, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper and stir to combine.

5. Bring mixture to a low simmer for 2-3 mins until the peas are cooked.
