Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat the oil and fry the onion until light brown. About 10 minutes.

Step 2

Add the sausage meat and break it up with the back of a wooden spoon so you’re left with small chunks. Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes, and not a minute less. You’ll think it’s done before that but don’t stop cooking it because you want it to caramelise and start to disintegrate. If it starts to burn, turn the heat down and continue to cook. Remember – 20 minutes.

Step 3

After 20 minutes, add the garlic, chilli, bay leaf, rosemary and fennel to the pan and cook for two minutes.

Step 4

Then add the tomatoes and crush them with the spoon then stir and return to the boil Season generously and cook on a low simmer for 10 minutes. This is when you add the nutmeg if you’re using it.

Step 5

At this point, it’s time to cook your pasta according to the packet instructions. Test the sauce and make sure you’re happy with the seasoning.

Step 6

When the pasta is nearly ready, stir in the cream and parmesan to the sauce and stir until the cheese has melted.

Step 7

Drain the pasta thoroughly and then stir into the sauce. Serve with a generous sprinkling of parmesan and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
