     Title: Student's Quick Sausage Bolognese
Categories: Pork, Mushrooms, Pasta, Sauces
     Yield: 4 Servings

     6    Good-quality sausages; skins
          - removed (680 g/24 oz bulk
          - sausage)
     1 ts Fennel seeds
   250 g  Fresh mushrooms; sliced
          - (9 oz) -OR-
   225 g  Can sliced mushrooms (8 oz)
   150 ml Red wine (5 oz) (optional)
   660 g  Jar tomato pasta sauce;
          - (23.2 oz) *
   300 g  Penne pasta (10-1/2 oz)
          Parmesan; grated or shaved,
          - to serve

 * common US jarred pasta sauce size is 28 oz.

 Heat a large, wide frying pan, then crumble in the sausage meat and
 fennel seeds (there's no need to add any oil). Fry for a few
 minutes until golden and the fat is released, stirring well to
 break up the meat. Add the mushrooms and fry for a few minutes
 until beginning to soften. Stir in the wine now, if using, bubble
 for 1 minute, then add the tomato sauce and heat through until
 bubbling.

 Meanwhile, boil the penne. When ready, drain and tip into the
 sauce. Mix well until completely coated, then divide between four
 plates, finishing with a little Parmesan cheese.

 Tip: Using the meat from good-quality sausages is an easy way to
 get lots of flavour in mince dishes without having to add extra
 herbs, spices and seasoning.
