Bake me up, buttercup
Serves 4
1 hour 30 minutes
Ingredients
Tinned Tomatoes 1 tin
Tomato Puree 2 tbsp
Sausage 4
Onion 1
Garlic 3 cloves
White Wine 100ml
Balsamic Vinegar 1 tbsp
Sugar 2 tsp
Double Cream 100ml
Basil small handful
Pasta 400g
Tenderstem Broccoli 100g
Mozzarella 100g
Method
Finely chop the onion and fry in a large saucepan with some olive oil until translucent.
Roughly chop the sausage and add this to the onions, along with finely diced garlic and more olive oil if necessary. Fry until the sausage is cooked.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine, and let this simmer until the volume of wine has halved.
Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, vinegar, sugar and half the small handful of basil roughly chopped (retaining some for later).
Very gently simmer this for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200 degree C.
Cook the pasta until just barely cooked, then drain, and rinse under cold water to prevent it cooking further.
Roughly chop the broccoli and boil for a couple of minutes in a pan of water, before draining and running under cold water to halt further cooking. The broccoli should still have a bite to it.
Once the tomato mixture has reduced, add the broccoli, cream, the remaining chopped basil. At this point add a generous helping of salt and pepper to taste.
Roughly chop the mozzarella, and add half to the tomato mixture, along with the cooked pasta. Stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a oven baking dish, and top with the remaining mozzarella.
Cook in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Eat and enjoy.
