Ingredients
- 3 traditional pork sausages, cooked and sliced
- 4 spring onions, diced
- 1/2 vegetable stock cube
- 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4-5 tbsp crème fraîche
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Pasta (Mezze Maniche or any similar type), enough for 2 servings
Method
- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of the pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil and sauté the spring onions until they are soft and translucent.
- Crumble the half vegetable stock cube into the pan and stir to dissolve. Add the sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Add the cooked and sliced sausages to the skillet, tossing them with the onion and sauce mixture to reheat and coat them thoroughly.
- Stir in the crème fraîche and mix until a creamy sauce forms. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Final Touches:
- Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, mixing well to ensure every piece is coated with the creamy sauce.
- Serve:
- Divide the pasta between two bowls. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or a few fresh herbs like parsley for extra flavor and garnish.
- Serve hot, and enjoy the comforting blend of flavors.
