Delicious creamy pasta with Italian sausage, mascarpone and tomatillas. A super easy and really quick pasta dish with lots of flavours, – warm, creamy and saucy in just the right way. So this one has become a new favourite at home – it contains a fantastic depth, it is slightly spicy (of course it depends on the sausages) and it is just so soft and delicious in texture.

Ingredients

500 g of boiled pasta
300 g salsiccia – fresh sausages
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 red pepper, cut into small cubes
3 cloves of garlic
1 handful
fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp chopped tomatoes
200 g mascarpone (or cream)
1 1/2 dl white wine – can be replaced by broth
50 g parmesan, finely grated
2 tbsp tomato concentrate
Salt and pepper
Oil

Here’s how you do it

• Heat a little oil in a pan and mash the contents of the sausages onto the pan in larger lumps.
• The sausages contain a lot of fat, so start by heating only a tablespoon of oil – you can always add more.
• Fry the meat at a good high heat for 5-8 minutes.
• If they give off a lot of fat, I prefer to pour some off – but that’s up to you.
• Add the onion, garlic and pepper, season with a little salt and pepper, and fry for a few minutes before adding the tomato concentrate.
• Pour in the white wine and let it reduce slightly, then add the tomatoes, Parmesan, basil and mascarpone. Save if necessary. a little basil to stir in just before serving – so it retains a nice colour.
• Let the sauce simmer at a good heat for approx. 10 minutes, – meanwhile, cook the pasta as described on the package.
• Save some pasta water before draining – if the consistency needs to be adjusted.
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper, toss with the drained pasta, and adjust if necessary. consistency with a little pasta water.
• Serve it topped with grated parmesan, freshly ground pepper and possibly fresh basil.
