Method
Step 1
Heat oil in a large heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook, breaking up the sausages into bite-size pieces, for 5 mins or until golden brown all over. Add garlic and cook for 1 min or until garlic is fragrant and toasted. Reduce heat to medium and add passata. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 mins or until sauce reduces slightly.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook, stirring often to ensure it doesn’t stick together, for 12 mins or until tender with some bite. During the last 2 mins of cooking, add asparagus. Drain pasta and asparagus, reserving ½ cup (125ml) cooking liquid.
Step 3
Add pasta and asparagus to the sauce, tossing to combine. Add ¼ cup (60ml) reserved cooking liquid (adding more if necessary) to thin sauce and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve immediately.
