DEE-Licious! I used bacon for the sausage and basil for the rosemary...so good and SO easy!

We loved this.. I made it for Friday night supper and we absolutely waded though it, SO good! I used a tin of chopped tomatoes instead of the passata, and rather than use the sausage meat, I sliced the sausage and cooked it like that. (I dont eat meat as such, but I enjoy the robust sauce that results when you use sausage like this, so the others get to enjoy the actual sausage and I enjoy the sauce!) With the red pepper flakes, it added just the right amount of bite, this was a wonderful pasta dish that I will be making often, YUM! Thanks for a fabulous recipe, Stardustannie! made for Aus/NZ swap#31.

This is truly good and so easy. I love the red onions -- a really good taste. I did as told except (lol) I used chicken stock. A great dish for this cold and blusterey weather. Thanks, Annie!

Out of this world pasta, easy to whip up and delicious and warming on the cold nights we have been having. This is one that I'll make again and again. Thanks Stardustannie
