Pasta Sauce With Italian Sausage

Pasta Sauce With Italian Sausage


1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Carefully add sausage and cook until no longer pink. (If using link sausage, remove the casing prior to cooking). When sausage is cooked through, drain excess moisture and add onions and peppers. Cook approximately 5 minutes until vegetables have softened slightly.

2. Reduce heat to low. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, salt, and pepper. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes.

3. Place sauce in a slow cooker. Add fresh herbs and simmer on low heat for no less than 2 hours. Serve over warm pasta or as the sauce for your favorite dish, such as baked ziti or lasagna.
