ingredients
- 12 ounces penne pasta, 2 portions (or other pasta shapes)
- 4 sausages
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 -3 stalks spring onions, sliced into 1 inch sections
- 4 -5 mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard
- 200 ml single cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons basil leaves (optional)
directions
- Squeeze the sausage meat out of their casings and shape into small meatballs. Heat some oil in a heavy based pan and brown the meatballs all over until just cooked. (Another method, which is what I have done, is to cook the whole sausages on the grill or fry them in a pan until cooked, and then slice them up.) Set aside.
- Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water until al dente, according to packet instructions.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large heavy based pan and add the garlic and spring onions and cook over medium heat for a minute.
- Add the mushrooms and sautee till cooked.
- Add the sausages, mustard and cream and simmer until the sauce is reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the mustard cream sauce. Mix well.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese if using.
- Dish up onto plates, scatter over basil leaves and serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a senior at Penn State University and I enjoy cooking so much I decided to live off campus so I would be able to cook...and have some privacy. I was born in Florida,and I've lived in Virginia, Guam, Texas...not in that order. I'm in Pennsylvania for school but I permanently live in Virginia. While living in such diverse places I found a great appreciation for local cuisine. I love to experiment with food on my friends and my fiancee.
