Method

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Skin the sausages and, when the pan is hot, cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking up the meat with the spoon until mince-like and browned. Pour in the wine and boil for 2 minutes, until mostly evaporated. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes until reduced. Stir in the olives. Heat through and season to taste.
Meanwhile, cook a 500g bag fresh penne pasta according to pack instructions. Drain and return to the pan. Add the sausage bolognese, toss together and divide between deep plates. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan to serve, if you like.
