This week’s MckLinky theme is to share a favourite recipe. I thought I’d share one of my favourite dishes with you. It’s Pasta Al ‘Arrabiata with a morish meaty twist! I love adding smoked sausages to a hot and spicy Arrabiata sauce. You can use whatever pasta takes your fancy. I like to use fusilli or penne.
