2tbsp sunflower oil
8 thick herby sausages eg, Sicilian or Lincolnshire
4 rashers of smoked streaky bacon, chopped
200g packet diced onion or or 1 medium onion, peeled and diced
250g carton sliced or button mushrooms
400g can chopped tomatoes
2 ham stock cubes
250g (8oz) penne pasta
200g packet sliced runner beans
1tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and ground black pepper
Crusty bread, to serve

Method

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Cook the sausages over a medium heat for 5-7 mins until they start to brown then add the bacon and onion and cook for a further 5-7 mins until the onion starts to soften and the bacon is starting to turn golden. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 2-3 mins, until they start to soften.
Tip the canned tomatoes into the pan, pour in 1 litre (1¾ pints) water and stir in the stock cubes. Bring the mixture to the boil, add the pasta and simmer for about 12 mins. Add the beans and simmer for a further 3-5 mins or until the pasta and beans are just tender. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little extra water. If it?s too liquidy, increase the heat and boil itrapidly so the excess evaporates.
Season to taste with Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Serve with plenty of crusty bread.
