Cook the sausages according to the pack instructions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. At the same time, spray a large non-stick frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Cook the onion, peppers and garlic for 4-5 minutes or until soft. Add the courgette and spices and cook for a further minute.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar and dried herbs and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the pack instructions and drain well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Cut the sausages into chunks and combine with the sauce and pasta. Divide between bowls and sprinkle over the fresh parsley (if you fancy a little Parmesan, count 1 Syn per level tbsp). Serve with a mixed salad, if you like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/slimming-world-pasta-recipes\/\">More on the blog:\u00a0 10 Slimming World pasta recipes<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More for members<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a pasta master, noodle ninja or you want to take things rice \u2019n\u2019 easy, you\u2019ll have access to more than 2,000 slimming-friendly recipes as a Slimming World member \u2013 and that\u2019s on top of all the weight loss support and recipe-swapping action you\u2019ll find in your local group or in the Slimming World Online Community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/group-or-online-membership\">Join to unlock our recipe collection<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n    <section class=\"block-embedded-widget-area alignwide\">\n        \t\t\t<section id=\"mm-newsletter-widget-3\" class=\"widget mm-newsletter-widget\">\t\n\t\t<div id=\"mm-newsletter-widget\" class=\"mm-newsletter-widget-form\" data-thanks_page=\"0\" data-thanks_page_url=\"\" data-thanks_page_new_window=\"0\">\n            <div class=\"wrapper\">\n                <aside>\n                    <header>\n                        <h2>Free 7-day eating plan<\/h4>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <p>You&#8217;ll also get our email newsletter with recipes, inspiration and exciting special offers<\/p>\n                <\/aside>\n\n                <div class=\"form-wrapper\">\n                    <form action=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.ie\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14474\" method=\"post\" id=\"newsletter-form\">\n\n                        <fieldset>\n                            <label class=\"input-label\">First name<\/label>\n                            <input type=\"text\" name=\"firstName\" placeholder=\"Enter your first name\" title=\"Enter your first name\" required>\n                        <\/fieldset>\n\n                        <fieldset>\n                            <label class=\"input-label\">Email address<\/label>\n                            <input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" placeholder=\"Enter your email address\" title=\"Enter your email address\" required>\n                        <\/fieldset>\n\n                        <fieldset>\n                                                            <div class=\"input-radio\">\n                                    <input id=\"classic-menu\" class=\"classic-menu\" type=\"radio\" name=\"menuType\" value=\"Classic\" checked>\n                                    <label for=\"classic-menu\">\n                                        I&#8217;d like the classic menu                                    <\/label>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"input-radio\">\n                                    <input id=\"vegetarian-menu\" class=\"vegetarian-menu\" type=\"radio\" name=\"menuType\" value=\"Vegetarian\">\n                                    <label for=\"vegetarian-menu\">\n                                        I&#8217;d like the vegetarian menu                                    <\/label>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                                                        <div class=\"input-radio\">\n                                    <input id=\"vegan-menu\" class=\"vegan-menu\" type=\"radio\" name=\"menuType\" value=\"Vegan\">\n                                    <label for=\"vegan-menu\">\n                                        I&#8217;d like the vegan menu                                    <\/label>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                    <\/fieldset>\n\n                        <div class=\"button-wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"g-recaptcha\" data-sitekey=\"6LdLR7cZAAAAAFDxo_6diZKq91dLeqE45o9GkrNL\" data-theme=\"light\" data-size=\"normal\"><\/div>\n                            <button class=\"submit is-secondary animation-light-background\" type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\">Sign me up<\/button>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/form>\n\n                    <p class=\"message-success\">Thank you for signing up.
