Method

  1. Start by cooking your pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water according to the packet directions. Before draining, reserve a splash of pasta water, then set the pasta aside and keep warm.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil. Cook your Butcher Shoppe lamb sausages, or lamb meatballs, for 5–6 minutes, turning until golden and cooked through. Set aside and loosely cover to keep warm.
  3. Using the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed and sauté garlic with half the finely sliced red onion for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in a spoonful of harissa paste, crushed tomatoes, and lemon juice. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Return the cooked pasta to the pan, along with the reserved pasta water and the cooked sausages. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated in the rich, spiced tomato sauce. Season to taste.
  5. To freshen things up, toss together a bright side salad of baby rocket leaves, the remaining onion, cucumber, juicy orange segments, orange juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season well.
  6. Serve your Moroccan lamb sausage pasta garnished with lemon zest and fresh parsley, with the vibrant rocket salad on the side.

Notes

You can also cook the sausages whole and slice them to add to the pasta – they will take a little longer to cook – 8-10 minutes. We used Moroccan style lamb sausages in this recipe -
