Directions

  1. Split the skins of the sausages, squeezing the meat from each into a hot pan. Pan-fry, breaking up the heat, until golden and crispy in places. Add the zest, juice, chilli and crème fraîche. Bubble away for 1 minute.

  2. Meanwhile cook the pasta according to packet instructions and add the peas for the last few minutes. Drain, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the pasta and peas with the sauce, thinning down with the cooking water as necessary. Serve with lots of Parmesan.
