Instructions

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 180⁰c. Pour the oil into an oven proof dish and place in the pre-heated oven. Whilst the oil is heating up, prepare the onion and pepper.

Step 2

Slice the courgette length ways and generously cover with salt. Leave to one side for 10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly. This will remove excess moisture from the courgettes

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the red onion and pepper to the dish and cook for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining vegetables.

Step 4

Once the onion and pepper have softened, add the remaining vegetables to the dish, along with the pasta and sausages.

Step 5

Pour the chicken stock into the dish, ensuring it more or less covers the pasta. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes, stirring half way through.

Step 6

Remove the dish from the oven and stir in the creme fraiche. Serve immediately.
