1 tbsp olive oil
250g Cooks’ Ingredients Frozen Soffritto Mix
½ tsp salt
400g pack 6 Waitrose Pork & Caramelised Onion Sausages
400g can finely chopped tomatoes (or passata)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
250g elicoidali rigati or penne pasta
1 handful/s basil leaves, shredded
350g pack No.1 Burrata Bambini, drained

Heat the oil in a large frying or sauté pan over a high heat. Fry the soffritto with the salt, stirring regularly, for 6-7 minutes. Remove the skin from the sausages, break up the meat and add to the pan. Cook for another 12-13 minutes until everything is turning golden.
Stir the tomatoes into the pan, then swill out the can with 100ml water and add that too. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for 10 more minutes. Stir in the vinegar and season.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. When you uncover the sauce, add the pasta to the water and cook for 1 minute less than the pack instructions. Scoop out a mugful of the cooking water before draining the pasta. Tip the pasta into the sauce and add a glug of the cooking water. Stir over the heat for 1 minute, then toss through the basil.
Serve in bowls, tearing a burrata over each.
