One-pot sausage and tomato pasta
The pasta cooks in the sauce, so there is only one pan to wash. It makes plenty and freezes well, so keep a few portions back for busy days.

Method
- 1Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Squeeze the sausage meat out of the skins in small pieces and cook for 5 minutes until browned.
- 2Add the onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic.
- 3Pour in the chopped tomatoes, water, dried herbs and pasta. Stir well.
- 4Bring to a simmer, then cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often so the pasta does not stick, until tender.
- 5Season to taste and serve.
Batch tip: cool fully, then freeze in portions for up to three months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until piping hot.
Sausages contain protein.
Tip: add a splash more water if the pan looks dry before the pasta is cooked.
