Had some leftover breakfast sausage and started wondering what to do with it… then it hit me: could it actually work as a breakfast pasta recipe? Not as a gimmick or rage-bait dish, but something that tastes genuinely good.

I fried up the sausage meat with red onions and sun-dried tomatoes, kept the flavours simple with garlic and black pepper, deglazed with a little stock and passata, then stirred in cheddar cheese to make a thick, rich sauce that clung to the pasta. Finished it with the ultimate brunch topping — a crispy fried egg with a runny yolk.

It might not be your typical breakfast dish, but this brunch pasta was packed with flavour and actually worked a treat. Would you eat pasta for breakfast? 🍝🍳
