A quick and easy boerewors pasta
- 400gms of your favourite venison boerewors
- 2 cups of halved cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of tomato passata / jarred tomato sauce
- a fistful of fresh basil leaves – roughly chopped
- a pinch – 1/2 t of smoked chilli flakes / chilli flakes if you felt like adding some heat
- Parmesan to serve
- pasta of your choice (I used about 200 – 250g of linguini)
Step 1: Slice the sausage up into smallish discs and fry in a non stick pan until the meat starts going brown and is just cooked through.
Step 2: Remove the meat and drain on paper towel as a lot of fat is rendered out.
Step 3: Discard the fat and return the pan to the heat which is now just coated in a thin layer of the leftover fat, and flash cook the tomatoes until heated through.
Step 4: Add the sausage back to the pan with the basil, chilli and passata and heat through. Check seasoning and add salt and pepper.
The whole process takes a matter of minutes, so make sure you start cooking your pasta before.
Serve with pasta and a grating of fresh Parmesan cheese.
