Heat the oil in a non-stick lidded pan then add the sausages and fry until browned all over.
Add the garlic, paprika and chilli flakes and cook for a further 2mins.
Add the passata and stock and gently bring to a simmer.
Stir in the pasta and add a pinch of salt and pepper, cover and gently simmer for around 15mins until the pasta is cooked, stirring occasionally.
