Something quick and simple, Pasta of course and there is no quicker way then Jamie’s version using just 5 ingredients. to be truthful we did scoff over this when we first saw it, but as they say don’t knock till you’ve tried it, and if you were to digress from the mantra of just 5 ingredients then add a splash of cream as well as the pasta water or instead of

Ingredients
150 g dried tagliatelle
3 meaty sausages
15g bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 large free-range egg
30 g Parmesan cheese
Method
Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water.
Meanwhile, squeeze the sausagemeat out of the skins, then, with wet hands, quickly shape into 18 even-sized balls
Roll and coat them in black pepper, then cook in a non- stick frying pan on a medium heat with ½ a tablespoon of olive oil until golden and cooked through, tossing regularly, then turn the heat off
Finely chop the parsley, stalks and all, beat it with the egg and a splash of pasta cooking water, or cream if using then finely grate and mix in most of the Parmesan.
Toss the drained pasta into the sausage pan, pour in the egg mixture, and toss for 1 minute off the heat (the egg will gently cook in the residual heat).
Loosen with a good splash of reserved cooking water, or cream again. Saeson with sea salt and pepper, and finely grate over the remaining Parmesan.
