Ingredients
- 500 g passata
- 250 ml Natural Yogurt or Cream Cheese I used dairy free cream cheese
- 1 garlic (powder, puree or clove)
- handful of chopped parsley
- salt & pepper to taste
- 6 gluten free sausages
- 400 g dried gluten free pasta
- 12 baby plum or cherry tomatoes halved
- 50 g grated cheese (or dairy free alternative)
For the Garlic Bread
- 3 tbsp butter or butter alternative (I use Flora plant butter)
- 1 garlic (powder, puree or clove)
- handful of chopped parsley
- 3-4 gluten free part baked roll/baguette(s)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven to 200°C | 180°C Fan | 400°F | Gas 5.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the pasta, making sure to stir to avoid sticking, cook for 8-10mins until al dente, strain and put to one side.
- In the meantime chop the sausages into bite size pieces, I use scissors for this!
- Fry the sausage bites dry in a pan until they are caramelised, put to one side.
- To make the sauce add the passata, garlic, yogurt (or cream cheese), seasoning and herbs to a jug and mix to combine.
- Mix the pasta, sausages, tomatoes and sauce together and pop into a ovenproof dish, sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Cover the pasta bake with foil and bake into the oven for 25 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the foil to allow the top to brown for the last 10 minutes
To make the garlic bread
- slice the part baked rolls diagonally to get authentic bread wedges, arrange on a baking tray.
- Mix the butter, garlic and herbs to a soft spread and butter each bread slice liberally.
- Pop into the oven for the remaining 10mins to melt the butter and go golden brown.
