1/2 cup chopped onion
4 Pork Sausages
1 tbs Saffron
1/2 cup Dry White Wine
2 sprigs of Rosemary
1  handful of fresh Sage
enough spaghetti (or penne) for 4
Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan for dressing

Sauté the onion in some olive oil. 
Remove the casing from the sausages and sauté, crumbling the meat as it cooks
When the meat starts browning, add the herbs and cook for a few minutes more.
Add the wine and cook until the alcohol evaporates.
In the meantime, dissolve the saffron in 1/2 cup of hot water or broth then add to the sausage mixture and cook on a low heat for about 8 mins making sure the liquid does not evaporate as that is the sauce!
Remove the rosemary and keep warm.
