03 -
225 g chopped onions
04 -
2 garlic cloves, chopped small
05 -
2.5 ml salt
06 -
2.5 ml black pepper
07 -
225 g bite-sized dry pasta
08 -
283 g diced tomatoes from a can, include the juice
09 -
480 ml chicken stock, lower salt is great
10 -
120 ml milk or use heavy cream if you like it richer
→ Finishing Ingredients
11 -

12 -
15 g chopped green onions for topping
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Sprinkle on those scallions and grab your fork while it's still really hot and cheesy.
02 -
Throw on the last handful of cheese, put a lid on, and give it a few minutes till it's all bubbly and starts turning golden at the edges.
03 -
Take the pan off the stove, dump in half the Cheddar, then mix it all up until smooth and melty.
04 -
Leave uncovered, gently simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring from time to time. You'll notice the pasta softens and the sauce thickens up prettily.
05 -
Pour in the chicken stock, add your tomatoes (don’t drain them), stir in milk or cream, dry pasta, salt, and pepper. Mix everything nicely so nothing’s stuck at the bottom.
06 -
Drop in the minced garlic, keep it moving, and let it cook around 30 seconds until it smells extra good.
07 -
Toss in sausage rounds and chunks of onion. Let that sizzle till sausage browns a bit and onions turn see-through.
08 -
Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet or 4–5 litre pan, warm it up on a medium-high burner.
