Ingredients
300g
orecchiette, or other pasta shape
200g
broccoli florets
1Tbsp.
olive oil
6
chicken sausages, or 12 chicken chipolatas
1
courgette, trimmed and coarsely grated
1Tbsp.
wholegrain mustard
3Tbsp.
crème fraîche
1Tbsp.
finely chopped chives
Directions
Step 1Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the orecchiette according to pack instructions, adding the broccoli for the final 3min of cooking time. Drain.
Step 2Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Squeeze the sausages out of their skins (discard skins). Add sausage meat to the pan in small pieces and fry for 7-8min, until browned. Add courgette to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3min, until softened and the sausage is cooked.
Step 3Stir the mustard and crème fraîche into the sausage pan, followed by the drained pasta and broccoli. Check seasoning. Sprinkle over chives and serve.
