One Sausage, One Tomato, 100g Pasta Meal Deal

The takeaway.
Course: Main Course
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 100 g pasta, tube or fusilli (can be gluten free but runs the risk of getting soggy because of the additional cooking time, you'll need to experiment)
  • 1 tomato large or equivalent cherry tomato. A little extra tomato doesn't hurt
  • 1 Italian sausage (approx 83 grams worth), gluten free if required
  • olive oil, handful parsley, little parmesan, salt, pepper

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to directions. Drain, reserving about half a cup of the salted pasta water.
  • Remove skin from sausage. Fry in a large frypan, breaking up well with masher.
  • Add diced tomato to pan, and when softened in a few minutes, break this up with masher too, ensuring it's well mixed with the sausage. Cook for another minute.
  • Add drained pasta water and pasta to the frypan. Stir continuously so the sauce seeps into the pasta by osmosis for a couple of minutes.
  • When no sauce left to seep, stir through parsley, parmesan, salt and pepper.
