I'm not even going to introduce the recipe. It doesn't need it. I'm just going to let the picture talk. I can guarantee this is a recipe you'll be cracking out more than once a week.

Instructions

Step 1

Put a saucepan of water on to boil. Melt the coconut oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Chuck in the onion, mushrooms and sausage chunks. Fry the whole lot together, stirring every now and then, for about 5 minutes, or until the sausages are pretty much cooked through.

Step 2

When the water comes to the boil, drop in the penne and midget trees and simmer for about 2 minutes (or according to the pasta packet instructions). The trees and penne should be cooked in about the same time. When they're done, drain in a colander and leave to one side.

Step 3

Add the red pepper to the sausage mixture and toss the whole lot together. Crank up the heat a little and pour in about 2 tablespoons of water, which should steam up and evaporate pretty quickly, this will help to ensure the sausages are cooked through. Check by slicing into one of the larger pieces to make sure there are no raw pink bits left.

Step 4

When you are happy the sausages are fully cooked, tumble in the olives and the drained pasta and trees. Give it all one final toss together and then serve up with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
