Marinara Sauce With Italian Sausage
2 (28 oz) cans diced tomatoes
6 links Italian sausage, sweet
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red wine for deglazing
1-2 Tbl dried Italian seasoning, to taste*
salt & pepper, to taste
pasta, your choice
Parmigiano-Riggiano or Parmesan cheese, grated
Cook pasta (your choice) according to directions on package.
In large saucepan, sauté sausage in olive oil and minced garlic.
When sausage is browned, remove from pan and deglaze pan with 1/2 cup red wine. Use a wooden spoon & scrape to loosen the browned bits from pan.
Return sausage to pan.
Add diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper.
Simmer on low heat for 10-20 minutes.
Add seasonings.
Drain pasta and place on plate.
Spoon marinara sauce with sausage over pasta.
Sprinkle cheese on top.
Salt pepper to taste.
You can dip Italian or French bread into leftover sauce if you want.
* I use 2 Tablespoons of Italian seasoning.
NOTE: If Parmigiano-Reggiano Parmasean cheese is not available, regular
Parmasean cheese will be just fine.
Fast AND delicious! Makes a LOT of sauce. I freeze sauce in 1/2 cup plastic bags. This is a perfect amount for hubby & myself.

As I mentioned - I was going to make this. I did and it was AWESOME!!!! Will keep this and make it again and again....thanks!
I’m going to try your yummy Marinara Sauce with Italian Sausage. I’m half Italian but never knew my Italian grandmother so I have no Italian family recipes. I’d love to find some great heirloom meals to enjoy.
