For the Celery Root Pasta

• 1 large celery root, peeled

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan, take sausage meat out of the casing and crumble into the pan. Brown for a couple of minutes then push to one side.

2. Add the crushed fennel seed, chilli flakes, rosemary and garlic.  Stir and cook for a minute then add the tomatoes and stir everything together

3. Bring to a simmer and let cook over low heat for about 30 mins.

4. Season well and toss with the celery root pasta

To make the pasta

1. Cut the celery root into very very thin slices – using a mandolin slicer if you have one. Cut each slice into strips about 3/4 inch wide – triangle shapes also work

2. Drop the pieces into a large pan of boiling water for 3 minutes, drain well and toss with the olive oil.

Season well. Toss with the pasta sauce

Serve warm and enjoy!
