Ingredients

  • 300 g (10.5 oz) fusilli, penne or other short pasta shape
  • 6 vegetarian sausages, any brand
  • 500 g (1 lb) cherry or baby plum tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp mixed Italian herbs
  • 1-2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 150 g (1 ⅓ cups) cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 small bunch basil leaves, whole or torn

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 360F.
  • Prepare the tomatoes. Scatter them in a large casserole dish, add the garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and dried herbs. Use a spatula to mix everything together and ensure the tomatoes are all well coated. Place in the oven for 35 minutes.

  • Place the sausages on a baking tray and brush lightly with oil. Refer to the package instructions to see how long they need to cook - put them in the oven once the tomatoes have the same amount of time left to cook, so that they're ready at the same time.

  • Once the sausages and tomatoes have about 5 minutes left to cook, set the pasta boiling according to package instructions.
    300 g fusilli, penne or other short pasta shape
  • When the sausages and tomatoes are ready, remove them from the oven. Slice all of the sausages and add them to the pan with the tomatoes. Add the basil too.
    1 small bunch basil leaves
  • Once the pasta is ready, drain it and add it to the casserole dish with the cherry tomatoes and sausages. Add the cheese, and mix it all together. The cheese should melt and help to thicken the tomato juices to form a light sauce.
    150 g cheddar cheese
  • Serve.
