Pasta and Polish Sausages

I am a big fan of chorizo sausages and regularly use them in pastas, soups and whatever else I come up with.  However, it's hard to find in Singapore and when I do it's quite expensive.  Through a local friend, I was introduced to Polish sausages which have a delightful flavour, maybe not quite as potent as chorizos but yummy just the same.

I often have to rely on a combination of whatever I have in the cupboard and fridge because I truly despise supermarket shopping and not having a car in Singapore makes it that much harder to go shopping with a 4 yo in tow.

With sausages in the freezer and pasta in the cupboard, I rummaged through the fridge and pulled this pasta together which was appreciated by the whole family.

Ingredients

400g pasta of your choice (we use small pasta to make it easier for our little girl)
1 jar of bolognese sauce
1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic, peeled and finely chopped
4 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
0.5 cup parsley, finely chopped
1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped
3 polish sausages, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt

Method

In a large saucepan, bring to boil water, pasta and salt.  Cook the pasta until al dente.

In the meantime, fry the sausages on medium heat until nice and crispy.  Remove from pan.

Using the same pan gently cook the rest of the ingredients except for the jar of sauce for about 15 minutes.  Add the sausages and sauce and cook on low for about 10 minutes.  Toss in the cooked pasta and gently stir until all mixed.

Serve with grated parmesan and a nice glass of red.
