proper blokes' sausage fusilli

Pasta | serves 4

This is a real blokey, gutsy yet simple pasta dish - but saying that, girls tend to like it as well! It hasn't really got a sauce of any description because all the flavor that comes out of the ingredients will stick to the pasta and that's enough. I will... read recipe
