Cook the pasta as per packet directions. Once cooked, strain the pasta, pour it back into the pot and stir the butter and parsley through it

In a hot frying pan with some olive oil, fry off the garlic, onion and chilli. Add a few basil leaves, olives and fennel seeds. Cut each sausage in half and squeeze out the meat from the sausage into little balls into the pan. Once the meat has browned slightly, add the tomatoes and the rest of the basil leaves.

Once the meat is cooked through, take the pan off the heat, pour in the pasta and stir it through the sauce.
