❤️ Why You'll Love This Recipe

This rustic Italian Sausage and Tomato Sauce is your go-to for a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner that tastes like it simmered all day. Loaded with juicy sausage, aromatic garlic, herbs, and rich tomato flavor, it's perfect over pasta, polenta, or even stuffed into hoagie rolls.

🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) Italian sausage (sweet or spicy, casings removed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste (optional, for richer flavor)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil (or fresh if available)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
  • Freshly grated Parmesan (optional)

🔥 Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Sausage

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 6–8 minutes).

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Simmer the Sauce

Stir in crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Add oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Serve & Garnish

Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve over your favorite pasta, topped with Parmesan and fresh herbs.
