Lincolnshire Sausage & Creamy Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients
- 500g Lincolnshire Sausages
- 320g dried tagliatelle or short pasta
- 250g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 150ml cooking cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Black pepper
- 1 tsp neutral oil for the meat, if needed
Check the product label and the packaging of bread, sauces, stock and dairy for your dietary needs. This recipe is not an allergen-free claim.
Make the meal
- Start the sauce alongside the meat in a separate pan. Boil the pasta when the sauce is nearly ready, so it can go straight into the finished sauce.
- Pat the thawed links dry. Heat 1 tsp neutral oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-low to medium heat. Cook for about 15–20 minutes, turning with tongs every 2–3 minutes. Check the thickest centre with a thermometer: at least 72°C. Time varies with link thickness. Rest 2–3 minutes on a clean plate before slicing.
- Boil the pasta according to its packet. Reserve 200ml of the cooking water.
- Heat the oil in a wide pan. Cook the onion for 5 minutes, add the prepared vegetable and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender and any released water has evaporated. Add the cream and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Cut the cooked links into thick pieces. Add to the sauce with the drained pasta, then toss with enough pasta water to make a coating rather than a pool.
- Fold in the herbs and grind over black pepper. Serve immediately.
