How to Make Spaghetti Sauce With Italian Sausage

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage in a large stockpot over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 chopped bell pepper, 8 oz sliced mushrooms, and 4 minced garlic cloves to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional), salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Add 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 15 oz tomato sauce, 2 tbsp tomato paste, and 1 cup burgundy wine. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 3 hours, or longer for a richer flavor. Stir occasionally.
  6. While the sauce simmers, cook your pasta according to package directions.
  7. Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
