Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 sausages
2 cloves garlic - crushed
1 brown onion - grated
1 zuchhini - grated
400 g tin of crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried mixed herbs
pinch of salt and pepper
200 g of pasta - dry

Instructions

Cook the pasta as per the packet instructions.
In the meantime, add the olive oil to the frying pan and heat over a medium. Cut the ends of the sausages and squeeze out the meat (directly into the frying pan)to form little meatballs.
Add the grated onion and crushed garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until the onion begins to turn translucent.
Add the grated zucchini and cook for a further 3 minutes - tossing the sausage 'meatballs' regularly to ensure they are brown on each side.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the crushed tomatoes, mixed herbs and salt and pepper before cooking for a further 3 - 4 minutes or until the sausage meatballs are cooked through.
Use a pair of tongs to carefully transfer the cooked pasta directly into the frying pan and gently toss it through the tomato and sausage mixture to coat.
Divide between four bowls and serve with a little grated parmesan cheese.
