Chunky Sausage and Tomato Pasta

When I made my version of the Irish Breakfast, I had 6 sausages left over. Because I didn't have a way of safely storing pork, I used up the rest of the sausages later that day in this dish:

Chunky Sausage and Tomato Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 6 thick pork sausages , cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 500g box of passata (seived tomato sauce)
• 400g can chopped tomatoes
• 500g penne

1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the sausages. Fry for about 8 mins until golden and cooked through. Tip in the garlic and fry for 1 min. 
2. Stir in the tomato passata and tomatoes and simmer for 15 mins.
3. While the sauce cooks, boil the pasta according to pack instructions and drain. Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce, then serve in bowls.

There wasn't much to this dish, which is probably why it is the cheapest I've made yet. It used up the extra sausage and made several leftovers but it wasn't anything special.
