Grilled Pepper and Sausage Penne

This is one of what Waitrose call an Everyday Recipe.  That’s a bit naff, but the Everyday tag seems to be working for them.

I modified it to make it fully gluten-free and my version used the following ingredients.

• A pack of 6 Musks gluten-free sausages.
• 280g Cooks’ Ingredients grilled pepper in olive oil
• 1 smalll essential Waitrose onion, finely chopped.  It might have been one of Sainsbury’s.
• 400g can essential Waitrose plum tomatoes in natural juice
• ½ x 25g pack fresh basil leaves, shredded
• Dove’s Farm gluten-free penne

The method was as follows.

1. Cut the sausages into thick slices. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil from the peppers in a large pan and add the onion. Cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes until softened. Add the sausages and brown on all sides.
2. Drain the peppers from the oil and add them to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes then add the tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon. Season and simmer for 15 minutes until the sausages are cooked through and the sauce is thickened. Stir in the shredded basil.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions until just tender. Drain and toss with the pepper sauce. Serve with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

It was good.
