Creamy pasta with sausagemeat balls

Ingredients
good glug of fruity olive oil
a couple of onions, peeled, sliced
a couple of spilling handfuls of pasta, such as conchiglie
4-6 good quality sausages (preferably from your butcher)
1 small handful fresh flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus a little extra for serving
a dollop or so of smooth mustard, such as Dijon
a dollop or so of grainy mustard, such as wholegrain
a small pot of double cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper

This is a Dig In recipe.

Method
Add the oil to a hot, shallow, large pan and fry the onions until they are very, very sweet. They want to be soft, not crisp, so put the lid on so they steam as well as fry, say a good 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to packet instructions.

When the onions are caramelised, skin the sausages and rip the meat into good sized chunks and add to the onions and cook for a few minutes.

Add in the flatleaf parsley and stir in the mustards. It's up to you to add as much or as little as you like of each. A tablespoon of each is usually enough.

Stir in the cream and check the seasoning, adding more mustard if you want. Drain the pasta and add to the cream and stir well. Serve immediately with an extra sprinkling of chopped parsley.

PS I exchange the cream for low fat creme fraiche to make it a bit less fatty!

That sounds tasty
I like that you indirectly suggest that Badger is fat, and should use creme fraiche, otherwise she won't be able to fit in the bath.

As much as she is my b3ta-sibling
I feel I have to defend her here. You've gone too far, she is certainly nowhere near as fat as Internet Peoples.
