Eating on a budget has never been more yummy!

With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a comforting dinner on the table in less than 25 minutes. If using fresh pork sausage, cook it first to firm it up, then slice into rounds and pan-fry with the mushrooms.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

30 ml olive oil
about 200 g smoked pork sausage, sliced
250 g button mushrooms, sliced
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
250 ml cream
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
salt & pepper
350 g courgette spaghetti (strips of baby marrow)

Method:

1. In a wide pan, heat the oil and fry the pork sausage until golden. Add the mushrooms and garlic and fry until cooked.
2. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, to reduce. Add the parmesan and season with salt & pepper.
3. Add the courgette and stir to coat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute or just tender. Serve at once, scattered with more parmesan.
