Spicy Ajvar Sausage Pasta

If you didn't know already, ajvar is a lovely, roasted red pepper spread and this is by far one of my favourite ways of using it.

This pasta is a regular staple of mine as it feels so easy and effortless to make, but the outcome is truly irresistible.

Ingredients:

• 2 servings of pasta
• 3 vegan sausages
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp of white wine
• 4 tbsp ajvar (roasted red pepper spread)
• 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese
• chilli flakes, to taste
• black pepper
• salt, to taste

Serves 2

Directions: 

1. Boil your pasta of choice saving 1/4 cup of pasta water.

2. Cook the sausages in a pan with some oil, breaking them down as they cook till crumbled.

3. Once the sausages are nearly cooked, add in finely chopped garlic and a splash of white wine. Then mix in the ajvar, cream cheese, reserved pasta water, chilli flakes, salt, black pepper and a drizzle of garlic + chilli infused oil if you wish.

4. Transfer the pasta to the pan with the sauce and mix together.

5. Serve and enjoy.
