Ingredients
  • 450 g spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 450 g sausages (casing removed and chopped)
  • 2 onions (peeled & finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 3 garlic cloves (peeled & crushed)
  • 400 g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 150 ml vodka
  • 150 ml double cream
  • 1 small bunch fresh basil (finely chopped)
    • To serve
  • Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • fresh basil leaves
Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta as per packet instructions.
  2. In a large frying pan or wok heat the oil. Add the sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes or until browned.
  3. Add the onions, salt & chilli flakes and cook until the onions are soft and golden, 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds and then add the tomatoes, stir until thick, about 2 minutes.
  5. Now add the vodka and cook until the sauce has reduced by half, 3-4 minutes. This will take away the strong alcohol taste. Stir in the cream and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the basil and remove from the heat.
  6. Toss the sauce with the pasta to coat evenly and transfer to a pasta bowls for serving. Add some pasta water if you need to loosen the sauce slightly. Top with cheese and sprig of basil and serve immediately. Enjoy!
