- A handful fresh sage, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 350g pasta shapes

Break the meat up into rough balls and place in a roasting tin with the cherry tomatoes and scatter with a handful fresh sage, roughly chopped. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season.

When choosing pork sausages, always buy British and choose outdoor reared wherever possible. It may be a little more expensive, but in terms of flavour, texture and the support you’re giving to British farmers, it’s more than worth it.
