Method

  • Add the coconut oil to a large, non-stick pan on a medium to high heat. Add the sliced leek into the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the garlic and pan fry for a further 2 minutes, then add the sliced sausages and fry for 6-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are brown on all sides. Add the chili flakes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Next, the tin of tomatoes and stir to combine. Let bubble for a few minutes and then add the quark, mixing through thoroughly to get a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix in with the sauce so that it’s all combined.
  • After a few minutes, take the pasta off the heat and portion up into containers, garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
