Sausage Pasta Recipe

With the end of daylight savings and the weather turning cooler why not enjoy one of the UK’s most beloved comfort meals: Sausage Pasta. This is perfect for this week’s special offer on Gloucester Old Spot sausages. Made from the famous native breed grown free-range in the Colne Valley woodland. Noted for its flavour, this is a succulent blend of free-range Gloucester Old Spot pork, with sage undertones, parsley and herbs. Both the sausage and the recipe are winners with children.
