Ingredients
- 300 - 350 grams linguini or spaghetti
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 6 pork sausages removed from their casings
- 2 1/2 cups frozen or fresh peas
- 100 ml cream
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp dried smoked chilli flakes or chilli flakes optional
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
- 4 free-range egg yolks
- 50 grams grated parmesan plus extra for serving
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and heat the oil in a non stick frying pan.
- Roll the sausage meat into small meatballs and fry until golden on all sides.
- Add the frozen peas and garlic and cook for a minute. Add the cream, parsley and chilli and cook for a further minute.
- Cook the pasta to al dente - making sure you have all other elements for the dish ready before this stage.
- Beat the egg yolks and add the Parmesan cheese.
- As soon as the pasta is cooked drain, reserving about 60ml of the cooking liquid. Immediately stir the egg yolk and cheese through to coat, and add the sausage and pea sauce.
- Gently stir everything through, adding some of the cooking liquid to loosen the sauce (if necessary) and serve immediately with extra parmesan cheese.
Notes
Store any leftover pasta in a sealed container in the fridge.
Reheating cream can often result in it splitting.
