Spicy Sausage & Macaroni

Cook macaroni in salted water until just tender, then drain and reserve a little cooking water.

Heat oil in a large pan and brown sausage meat, breaking it into small pieces.

Add onion and cook until soft, then stir in garlic for 1 minute.

Mix in tomato purée, paprika and chilli flakes and cook briefly to bloom the spices.

Add chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes until thick and glossy.

Stir through cooked macaroni, adding a splash of pasta water if needed.

Fold in most of the cheddar until melted into the sauce.

Top with remaining cheddar and grill briefly or cover until the cheese melts.
