Absolutely, a great combination indeed!

Thanks, it's so easy and delicious.

I agree, both sausages and chocolate are things I miss! But then for this dish, I think it is great with the sausages I get here. And yes, it's great for this time of year. Thanks Loretta, and happy Fiesta Friday (belatedly!)

Thanks Ruth, I hope you enjoy it. I don't ever remember seeing Italian sausages in the UK and I was trying to think what the closest equivalent was but there isn't one that jumps to mind. Hot Italian sausages here are fresh sausages rather than cured as chorizo is (at least normally) and there's a bit of chili and fennel seeds as the main seasoning. That said, I definitely think it could still work with British sausages - either something like a cumberland and maybe add a little chili to the sauce if you want it slightly spiced, or use chorizo but a bit less and cut into small chunks since it won't break down as you cook.Or a bit of both - maybe a little chorizo in small pieces cooked initially to give you the flavor then some plainer British sausage as the 'bulk'. Let me know how it turns out!

Thanks Petra, I agree it's definitely one of those dishes for days when you are short of time and/or ideas.

Thanks Denise. I never used to cook the pasta in there, but it works really well and means one less pan 🙂 Glad it's not just me that recognizes the difference in the sausages!

Thanks Liz, I agree they have a lot of flavor and work so well with pasta.
