  1. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Reserve 100 ml of the cooking water, then drain.

  2. Remove the sausage meat from its skins and break it into small bite-sized pieces.

  3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the sausage meat for 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through.

  4. Add the garlic, cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.

  5. Stir in the cream and lemon juice. Add the drained pasta and enough reserved cooking water to make a glossy sauce.

  6. Season, fold through the basil and serve with Parmesan.

Notes

Add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce coats the pasta smoothly.
About this recipe

This lamb sausage pasta builds a quick, rich sauce from browned sausage, sweet cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and a little cream. Lemon keeps the dish bright while basil brings a fresh finish.

Reserve some pasta water before draining so the sauce clings to the fettuccine. Serve with Parmesan for an easy, satisfying bowlful.
