Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 16 ounces dairy-free sausage, diced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup red wine
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot; sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced dairy-free sausage to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the red wine, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits at the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth until combined.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper, stirring to integrate the spices well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, lower the heat, and cover the pan, allowing it to cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaf, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving with your favorite pasta.
