Method:
1- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, deep frying pan set over a medium heat. When hot, break the skinless sausages into the oil, aiming for about 1 cm pieces. Fry for 5 - 7 minutes, until the sausage meat has started to crisp around the edges then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
2- Add the crushed garlic cloves and fry for a couple of minutes until fragrant then add the dried oregano and smoked paprika along with the tomato puree and sun dried tomato pesto. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly then add the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Add the sausages back into the pan and cook for 15 minutes until the stock has reduced slightly and the sausages are cooked through.
3- Whilst the sauce cooks, place a second frying pan over a medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow to warm and then add the breadcrumbs, crushed garlic clove and chilli flakes and stir to coat in the oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs and golden and crispy then remove from the heat and stir through the lemon zest.
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
5- Add the double cream to the sauce and bubble for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. When the pasta is cooked, use a slotted spoon to lift the pasta into the sauce.
6- Sprinkle over the parmesan and stir to combine everything then serve into bowls with the pangrattato sprinkled over the top.
7- Finish with a few basil leaves to serve 🍝
