1. Prick sausages and brown either by grilling for 10-12 mins or frying. Set aside
2. Heat oil in large fry pan. Add onion, garlic and capsicum and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add tomatoes anmd simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Stir in tomato paste, cannellini beans and sausages. Cook for 5 minutes. or until piping hot. Add 4-5 tablespoons of water if too dry.
5. Serve with mashed potato.
6. NB: I made a few changes... *You're supposed to use Italian spiced sausages which I didn't have so used Italian flavoured canned tomatoes with some extra herbs with beef sausages. *The original recipe says grill the sausages but I couldn't be bothered making extra dishes so browned in fry pan and kept them in there when I added the onion, garlic and capsicum. *I also added some red wine to add a bit more flavour since my sausages were plain beef. *I also added baby green beans (which added the green colour to my dish as I only had yellow capsicum not green).
