Step 1

Prep your ingredients • Finely dice the white onion. • Slice the sausages into bite-sized coins.

Step 2

Boil the pasta • Boil water in a pot, add a generous pinch of salt, and cook your pasta according to the box instructions. • Important: Right before you drain the pasta, scoop out 1 cup of the boiling pasta water and set it aside. You will need this to thin out the thick canned soup.

Step 3

Sear the sausages & onion • Heat a little oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. • Add the sliced sausages and cook until they get a nice brown crust. • Toss in the diced onions and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until they turn translucent and soft.

Step 4

Build the sauce & season • Turn the heat down to low. Pour the can of Campbell's mushroom soup directly into the pan with the onions and sausages. • Add your seasonings: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (or oregano), a good pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of chilli flakes (optional). • The soup will be very thick. Stir in 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to smooth it out into a creamy sauce. Let it simmer gently for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Combine and serve • Toss your drained pasta directly into the sauce. • Stir well so the sauce coats every piece of pasta. If it still looks too thick, splash in a little more pasta water. • Taste it, add more black pepper or chili flakes if you like, and serve hot!
