Method

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Cook the sausages over a medium heat for 5-7 mins until they start to brown then add the bacon and onion and cook for a further 5-7 mins until the onion starts to soften and the bacon is starting to turn golden. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 2-3 mins, until they start to soften.
Tip the canned tomatoes into the pan, pour in 1 litre water and stir in the stock cubes. Bring the mixture to the boil, add the pasta and simmer for about 12 mins. Add the beans and simmer for a further 3-5 mins or until the pasta and beans are just tender. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little extra water. If it?s too liquidy, increase the heat and boil itrapidly so the excess evaporates.
Season to taste with Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Serve with plenty of crusty bread.
