Smoked Sausage Bucatini
Experimenting with recipes hasn’t been so fun since the cost of living crisis whacked me square in the face, but fear not. This dish costs less than £1.40 and is super low maintenance to make.

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Add sausages and break them into a mince. Add onions and cook until browned.
- Add garlic, chilli, paprika and tomato paste. Stir through.
- After a few minutes, add tinned tomatoes, oregano and balsamic vinegar. Taste test at this point and season accordingly.
- Allow to simmer. Ideally, leave for 20-30 mins or however long you have.

I followed the instructions exactly as written and the results were fantastic. I would definitely make this recipe again.
