SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM PENNE IN MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Squeeze the sausage meat out of their casings and shape into small meatballs. Heat some oil in a heavy based pan and brown the meatballs all over until just cooked. (Another method, which is what I have done, is to cook the whole sausages on the grill or fry them in a pan until cooked, and then slice them up.) Set aside.
• Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water until al dente, according to packet instructions.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large heavy based pan and add the garlic and spring onions and cook over medium heat for a minute.
• Add the mushrooms and sautee till cooked.
• Add the sausages, mustard and cream and simmer until the sauce is reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the mustard cream sauce. Mix well.
• Stir in the parmesan cheese if using.
• Dish up onto plates, scatter over basil leaves and serve immediately.
