Directions
Step 1
In a pot over medium-high heat, soften the celery, carrots, garlic and leek in the oil. Add the sausage meat and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle with the flour and toss well to coat the vegetables and meat. Add the broth. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
Step 2
Simmer to reduce the sauce for 30 minutes over medium-high heat, or until the sauce thickens. Set aside 2 cups (500 ml) of the sauce.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and lightly oil.
Step 4
Add the pasta, peas and 3/4 cup (55 g) of the Parmesan cheese to the pot of sauce. Cook for 1 minute or until the pasta has soaked up the cooking juices. Serve the pasta in bowls. Top with the reserved sauce and remaining Parmesan.
