    Ingredients

    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the instructions.

    2 Heat the oil in a shallow frying pan, chop one end off each of the sausages and squeeze the meat into the pan.

    3 Break the sausage meat up with a fork so it is in crumbly chunks. Add the garlic and cook gently, stirring frequently to prevent the sausage from sticking and to crumble the meat as it cooks. When the meat is well browned, pour off any excess fat in the pan and add the evaporated milk. Simmer gently till reduced by a quarter, then add the lemon zest and parsley.

    4 When the pasta is ready, drain and add to the sauce. Serve immediately.

    Variations

    You could use cream in place of lite evaporated milk if you prefer, or choose a spicy sausage variety such as chorizo.
