Method

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and sausages and cook, breaking up the sausages with a wooden spoon, for 10 mins, stirring every now and then.
Add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for a further 1 min before adding the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium and leave to simmer for a further 15 mins.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions. Drain, reserving 2 tbsp of the pasta water, then toss the pasta with the sauce and the reserved water. Divide between 4 plates and sprinkle the parsley over the top.
