Sausage Tomato Pasta

 Welcome back to the Busy Student Kitchen Blog!

This recipe is one of my all-time favourites as it has such little ingredients involved, meaning less clean up! I love a pasta dish as, if I have any leftovers, I usually take them to university for lunch, saving me time the next day. 

This recipe is very versatile as you can switch up the sausages for chicken, meatballs or even turn it into a vegetable-based meal. You can also add anything you want to it to give that extra flavour or bulk it out. 

 









Utensils. 

This recipe only requires a pot for the pasta, a pasta drainer, and a spoon for mixing the sauce. This is perfect if you don’t want to waste key studying time cleaning up lots of dishes. It is simple, easy and allows for minimal mess. 

 










Okay, let’s start cooking.


Step 1: Put your sausages in the oven at 200 degrees for around 22 minutes or until golden brown. You should turn your sausages at least once to ensure that they are fully cooked. You can also fry your sausages for 15-20 minutes if you would rather. 

 

Step 2: Once the sausages have 15 minutes left, it’s time to put your pasta in a pot and bring the water to the boil. 

 

Step 3: Once your pasta is cooked, drain MOST of the pasta water, but leave a small amount in the bottom of the pot. Then add the tomato purée and mix until it thickens.

 

Step 4: Take your sausages out the oven and cut them into small bite sized pieces and add to your pasta.

 

Step 5: Finally, you can either add your cheese while it is in the pan to allow it to melt, or plate your meal then sprinkle on top. 

 

Remember you can adapt this recipe every time you make it and to always cook something new!

Chicken with Chilli Jam.

  Welcome to the Busy Student Kitchen Blog! This recipe is one of the simplest and quickest to make, allowing you to save time and energy on any heavy clean up, leaving more time to focus on your studying.  You also have the option to build this recipe if you want to add more flavour with the ‘chicken seasoning’ or if you are lacking on the veggies feel free to add in some peppers, onions, broccoli, or any vegetable you like. Once you get comfortable with the recipe you can really get creative and make it your own.  Utensils.  We all know University halls don’t give radical amounts of space for cooking utensils. Luckily this recipe only requires one pan. Other helpful tools include a spatula for cooking the chicken, and a spoon for mixing the chilli jam, this is recommended for an easier process but if you don’t have these tools feel free to just use a spoon for both – don’t be fooled when they tell you that you need fancy tools to make these recipes work.  Okay...

The Fakeaway Chinese

Image
Welcome back to the Busy Student Kitchen Blog! Moving to University can mean missing out on those family Friday night takeaways. With the price of Uber Eats being unjustifiable as a regular payment for students, this recipe solves this issue and allows for a more nutritional substitute for a takeaway.  The Fakeaway Chinese is the perfect meal when you’re craving a takeaway, and it’s a lot healthier! This meal can also be adapted, as you can add in veggies or rice to bulk it out. However, just ‘as it is’ is the perfect dinner treat.  Utensils.  In this blog we understand the limited utensils and space that university students may have in their halls or flat. Luckily for you, this recipe only needs one pan and a sandwich bag (don’t worry, I’ll explain). It may also be of benefit to have a spatula and a spoon to mix the sauce but just use what you have on hand!   Jumping into the recipe: Step 1:  Pop your diced chicken into a sandwich bag and add in enough cornflou...

Burger and Sweet potato fries.

Image
Welcome back to the Busy Student Kitchen Blog! This meal is one of my all-time favourites. Sweet potato fries are healthy and so easy to make. You could always use normal potato’s instead if you’re not a fan of sweet potato, but I heavily recommend trying them as they are so tasty! For the burger you can use beef, chicken, or a veggie burger, whatever your preference is, or you can constantly switch it up! Eating healthy and nutritionally at university can easily be pushed to the side for convenient meals, however with this meal you get the best of both worlds.    Utensils.  To cook this meal, you will need a knife, chopping board and a tray for the oven. Remember to get creative and make use of what you have.  Your burger will usually have cooking instructions on the packet, so be sure to check the recommended cooking time and temperature on your packet. You can also fry burgers however, since our sweet potato fries will be going in the oven, it makes sense to have ...
