2.
Prepare the sauce | Place a large pan over a medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil | Once warm, add the diced onions, peppers and a pinch of salt | Mix well and cook for 5-10 minutes until soft | At this point, crumble in the sausage meat and stir for 5 minutes | Mix through the dried herbs and paprika and cook for another minute | Drain the cashews and place into a powerful blender, along with the garlic clove and almond milk | Blend until smooth and creamy | Pour the cashew cream into the pan, along with the tinned tomatoes, tomato purée and harissa paste | Mix well and leave to simmer for 10 minutes

Cook the pasta | Add a big pinch of salt to a big pot of boiling water, add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions (approx 9-11 minutes, depending on the pasta) | Once cooked, drain (reserving some of the pasta water)
