Pasta With Sausagemeat and Carrots
"I know it sounds odd but it really is quite delicious. The carrots combine with the sausage to form an unexpectedly good sauce which is thick and satisfying. It’s so easy to make and a favourite supper dish in our house-even the kids love it! Use the best sausage you can-it makes a difference! This dish freezes really well and keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days!"

Lacked flavour. Needs garlic for a start plus a whole lot more herbs.

This was very much enjoyed. I was hoping for a strong carrot flavor in the sauce, just because that would be so different and unique, but the sauce only had a mild carrot flavor. It was still quite good though- much better than traditional tomato-based sauces, which I'm pretty bored of. I accidently bought cooked sausage, but it still turned out fine. Added double the amount of stock because my carrots were huge, and a 1/2 teaspoon of fennel seed. -
Really good and easy to make. Thank you for the great recipe! -
We liked this very much too. I used a hot Italian sausage which gave great flavour, a whole onion, fire roasted tomatoes, and also 2 cloves of garlic (love garlic). I will make it with these minor changes again. -
I used spicy italian sausages. Instead of using oil and butter, I decided to cook them in a non-stick skillet, then I added the onion and followed the recipe. I used fresh ripe tomatoes so there was a bit too much liquid. I was out of chicken stock or any stock, so I used only water. I used 1 small onion. Thanks Noo :) Made for Gimme 5 tag game
