There is nothing more delicious than fresh artisan-made Italian sausages - simple natural food - perfect for this easy "pasta" sauce. We served our sauce with Zoodles - thin strips of courgette boiled for 2 - 3 mins in salted water then fried in butter for texture and creamy taste then tipped them into the pasta sauce at the end of cooking. YUM! Easy teas
