Preheat your oven to 200\u00b0C\/fan 180\u00b0C\/gas 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Cook the sausages according to the pack instructions, then cut into bite-size chunks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. At the same time, spray a non-stick frying pan with 1 cal cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until soft, then add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Tip in the paprika and flour and stir continuously for 1 minute. Set aside a splash of the milk then slowly pour the rest into the pan, stirring continuously, followed by the stock and the sun-dried tomatoes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the Parmesan, spinach and cooked sausage chunks and leave to cook for another minute, or until the spinach has wilted. Season to taste.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Pour the sausage mixture into a small ovenproof dish (about 20cm x 15cm), level the surface with a fork and top with the pastry hearts, brushing them with the reserved milk. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden, and serve with your favourite potatoes and Speed vegetables.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More on the blog: Pastry or potato&#8230;?&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/british-pie-week-how-will-you-top-yours\/\">Find more pies to try here<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/nearest-group-search\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"115\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Group-Feel-Real-Good-Food-Small-CTA.jpg\" alt=\"Feel Real Good - Group small CTA\" class=\"wp-image-11365\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More for members&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MoreForMembers-Pies-v2.png\" alt=\"Slimming World Pies\" class=\"wp-image-8375\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you join Slimming World, you\u2019ll unlock more than 2,400 delicious recipes on the app and website.
