Finely chop the onion and press or mince the garlic. Cut the romano pepper into thin half rings. Boil 250ml water per person in a saucepan and crumble in the stock cube. Add the passata and then bring back to a boil.

Cut open the skin of the chicken sausages and squeeze out the meat. Heat the olive oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the garlic and onion for 2 minutes. Add the romano pepper, Sicilian herbs and the sausage meat to the pan and fry for 3 - 4 minutes over high heat, breaking the sausage meat apart as you do so. Reduce the heat to medium-high, add the risotto rice and toast the grains for 1 minute while stirring.

Add a third of the passata with stock to the rice and allow to slowly absorb, stirring regularly. Repeat with the rest of the passata and stock in two batches. The risotto is done when the rice is soft on the outside but still has a little bit of bite. This should take around 25 - 30 minutes. Add some more water if you'd like the rice to be softer.

In the meantime, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and finely chop the parsley.

When the risotto has 7 minutes left, stir in the cherry tomatoes. Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the mascarpone and half of the parsley. Taste the risotto and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve the risotto on deep plates and garnish with the rest of the parsley.
