Sausage and mushroom pasta

This sausage and mushroom pasta is a robust dish made with pork and fennel sausages. It’s a recipe that is great for mums with busy days because it can be on the table within 20 minutes of arriving home – if you move around as quickly as Jamie Oliver! Perhaps half an hour if you are more like me.

Whip up a batch of these easy peasy scones before the kids get in from school and serve them up with strawberry jam as an afternoon treat. Better still; make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for lunch boxes!
