How to make it

  • Take the sausage out of the package and cut into 1 inch long pieces or smaller if you desire.
  • Take a large sauce pot and coat the bottom with olive oil. When the oil is hot sautĂ© the Sausage till the outside is cooked and starts to brown the remove from the pot.
  • In that same pot add chopped onion, pepper, basil and mushrooms and sautĂ© them till the onions start to turn translucent.
  • Then add the minced Garlic and keep all the Veggies moving around so the garlic does not burn.
  • Let sautĂ© for about a minute total with the garlic then add the tomato paste and then fill the can with water and add that.
  • Stir until the paste has softened and let simmer for one minute.
  • Add the two cans of crushed tomatoes. Stir making sure everything is distributed evenly.
  • Take the whole tomatoes and dice them before putting in the sauce. If you do not want them sliced you can add them whole to the sauce and use a potato masher to crush them.
  • Then season with salt pepper and oregano to taste and also make sure to add about a palm full of sugar. The sugar will take away the acidity of the Tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a boil and re-add the Sausage then let simmer for twenty minutes then it’s ready to serve.
  • Optional: I like a little kick in my sauce so I usually add some red pepper flakes but that is totally up to you.

    Love it! I'll leave out the sausage and triple the shrooms ;-). I'm a fan of the fungi!
