Method

step 1

Cook the rigatoni then drain, saving a tbsp or so of cooking water.
step 2

Take the skins off the sausages, break the meat into little pieces and cook in 1 tbsp oil in a hot, non-stick frying pan. Fry all over until golden and crisp, breaking up big bits with a spatula, then add the fennel seeds and cook for a minute.
step 3

Pour in the wine, let it bubble up, then stir in the mustard, lemon zest and crème fraîche. Simmer until it’s the consistency of single cream, then toss with the pasta, cooking water and parsley.
