A comforting countryside sausage pasta

with peas and pancetta

This pasta makes me think of the countryside of Northern Italy, with its lush and comforting flavours. I love sausage pastas because they’re like making a ragù, but much faster. Make sure to use the best quality pork sausages you can find from a good butcher. They can be Italian-flavoured, with some spice, or with fennel seeds if you prefer. If you’re vegetarian, replace the meat with a few different types of mushrooms, and you’ll still have a delicious pasta dish.

As the pasta or fat from the sauce cools, it will thicken. So, ensure the sauce is loose enough before serving.
