Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Italian sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, finely chopped carrot
- 1 medium, finely chopped celery stalk
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, roughly chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cups, grated parmesan cheese
- 12 ounces pasta of your choice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sausages and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.
Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the skillet with a lid.
Simmer the sausages in the sauce for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the sauce simmers, cook your pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
After 30 minutes, check the sausages for doneness by cutting into one to ensure it is cooked through.
Stir fresh parsley into the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water for a silkier texture, if desired.
Serve hot, garnished with grated parmesan cheese.
