1Brown Sausage

Heat drizzle of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add sausage & cook, breaking into smaller pieces, until browned & crispy on edges, 5–8 minutes.

2Make Bolognese

Add garlic to saucepan with sausage; cook, stirring, until fragrant; about 1 minute. Add tomato paste & cook, stirring, until it darkens slightly, 1–2 minutes. Stir in stock blend, measured water, & pinch of sugar; bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat until sauce is reduced 10–15 minutes. Cover to keep warm.

3Make Garlic Bread

Place bread cut sides up on a baking sheet, bake on centre oven rack, until golden and crisp, 5–7 minutes. Drizzle with oil, then cut each half into fourths.

4Cook Pasta

Return water to a boil, then add pasta, cook, stirring to prevent clumping, until al dente, about 2-3 minutes. Drain well, return pasta to pot. Add half of the Bolognese sauce, toss to combine.

5Finish Salad & Serve

Add dressing to bowl with lettuce; toss to combine. Serve pasta topped with remaining Bolognese sauce, parmesan. Serve pasta dish with salad & garlic bread alongside.
