Jools' favorite pasta

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 3 small carrots
• 4 spring onions
• 3 stalk(s) Celery
• 1 chili pepper(s)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 6 m.-sized sausages
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• some oregano, dried
• 1 large can of tomatoes, peeled
• 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic
• some basil
• some Parmesan

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

Chop the carrots, spring onions, and celery with the chili pepper in a food processor. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the vegetables. Chop the sausages in the food processor, keeping the skin on. Add the fennel seeds and oregano and chop again. Add the meat mixture to the pan and sear until very hot, until the fennel seeds and meat begin to roast. Now add the balsamic vinegar and press the garlic cloves through a press and add them to the pan. Add the canned tomatoes and mash them with a spoon. Refill the empty can with water and add it. It will still seem a bit watery, but it will thicken over time. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, add the cooked pasta to the sauce, and add the reserved pasta water if necessary. Garnish with a little basil and Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
