  • cook time 20 minutes
  • Serve Serves 4

  • 400g cherry tomatoes 
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 3 tbsps olive or rapeseed oil 
  • 300g pack Linda McCartney’s 6 Vegetarian Sausages

Remove the courgettes from the frying pan and set aside on a plate. Slice the sausages and add to the pan, frying for a couple of minutes, then tip in the pasta, tomatoes, any roasting juices, 2-3 tbsps pasta water and the courgettes. Toss together briefly and serve scattered with basil leaves.
