This comforting and quick Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Sausage Pasta is a creamy, flavorful dish that turns just a handful of ingredients into something truly satisfying.

Ingredients Needed

• 150g dried tagliatelle
• 3 sausages
• 15g fresh flat-leaf parsley (about ½ a bunch)
• 1 large egg
• 30g Parmesan cheese

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Sausage Pasta

1. Cook the Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions until al dente. Before draining, reserve a mug of the starchy pasta water to help with the sauce later.
2. Shape the Sausage Balls: Remove the sausage meat from the skins and wet your hands to prevent sticking. Roll the sausage into about 18 small, evenly sized balls. Coat them lightly in freshly ground black pepper for extra kick.
3. Cook the Sausage: In a large non-stick frying pan, heat ½ tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage balls and cook, turning regularly, until golden and cooked through. Turn off the heat when done.
4. Make the Sauce: Finely chop the parsley. In a bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the chopped parsley, a splash of reserved pasta water, and most of the grated Parmesan. This is your creamy, no-cook sauce.
5. Combine Everything: Toss the drained pasta into the pan with the sausage balls. Pour in the egg mixture and stir quickly for about a minute off the heat—the residual warmth gently cooks the egg without scrambling it.
6. Finish & Serve: Add a splash more pasta water if the sauce needs loosening. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Top with the remaining Parmesan and serve hot.
