  7. Add the passata or chopped tomatoes and simmer the sauce for 20-25 minutes ( If it gets too dry you can pour in a little water or more wine)
  8. Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet.

Notes

  • Tomato passata can be swapped with fresh peeled and chopped tomatoes
  •  
  •  
  • You can season the ready dish further if required with parsley or peperoncino flakes. ( We added some peperoncino!)
  • Another way to spice it up is to add a little Nduja when you are cooking the sausage.
  • If you don't have gramigna this dish is still delicious with other short pasta such as fusilli, elbow macaroni or even spaghetti.
  • Tomato passata can be swapped with fresh peeled and chopped tomatoes
