1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the Clonakilty Honey & Mustard Dinner Sausages and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan, slice into thick rounds and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/Gas mark 5.
3. In the same pan, add another teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion for five minutes, until softened. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for a further two minutes, until softened.
4. Stir in the tomato purée and the tinned tomatoes. Continue to cook until bubbling.
5. Tip in the cooked and sliced Clonakilty Honey & Mustard Sausages and the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine once again.
6. Pour into a baking dish, top with a scattering of grated cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Enjoy with a side of mixed salad leaves.
