Ingredients
340g spaghetti or tagliatelle
Spicy Sausage and tomato Sauce
450g pork sausages or chipolatas
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion – chopped
1 medium tomato - chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
½ - 1 tbsp Goan Red Masala (depending on how spicy you want it!)
2-3 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp tomato sauce
120g Cheddar Cheese-grated

Cooking Steps
Step 1
Cook pasta: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. While the spaghetti cooks, proceed with the recipe below.
Step 2
Make the spicy sausage sauce
Heat 2 tbsp of oil on medium heat in a large, heavy-bottomed, high-sided pan.
Fry the chopped onion and minced garlic. Add the chopped tomato and when soft and mushy add 1 tbsp of Goan Red Masala to the pan and fry for 1 minute.
Then add the tomato puree, tomato sauce, salt and sugar. Mix well and add the chipolatas.
Fry the sausages in the spice mixture until they are cooked and the oil begins to separate in the sauce. This is a fairly dry dish, but if you would like extra sauce add ½ mug of water at this stage and mix well. Turn off the heat.
Add the spicy sausages and sauce to the boiled spaghetti and mix well. Then stir in the grated cheese mixing well, taste and adjust the seasoning adding more salt or cheese as required.
Serve immediately with extra cheese while still hot.
