Sweet Chilli Zinger Penne Pasta

This is a simple penne pasta dish with a tomato based sauce that features the medium heat of our Sweet Chilli Zinger Sausages. If you like it really hot, you could make this with the Habanero Chilli Sausages instead.

1 lb Sweet Chilli Zinger Sausages
1 tbsp oil
½ cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 14oz can diced tomatoes
½ cup dry red wine
¼ cup tomato paste
½ tsp chopped oregano
1 cup fresh basil – torn into small pieces
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
21/2 cups penne pasta, cooked and drained
Fresh grated parmesan cheese.

Fry sausages in a heavy pan over a medium heat, until cooked and browned all over. To prepare sauce, heat oil in a pan over a medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic, and then add tomatoes, red wine, tomato paste, herbs, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for approx 10 minutes. Slice sausages diagonally, and stir into the sauce. Toss sauce with the hot cooked penne. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serves 4.
