Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- ½ cup Sweet Bell Pepper finely chopped
- 1 lb. Italian sausage casings removed
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup red wine dry
- 2 tomato crushed, canned (28 ounces each
- ½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 lb. pasta such as penne, rigatoni or rotini
- ¼ cup parsley chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers; sauté for about 5-7 minutes (or until tender). Add the sausage and cook for 7-8 more minutes, until browned. Add garlic, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Add wine; bring to a boil, scraping bits from the bottom of the pan. Add crushed tomatoes, cream and tomato paste. Bring back to a boil; reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes (until sauce thickens). Remove from heat; stir in parsley, basil and Parmesan.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions for al dente. Drain. Transfer pasta to the sauce, stir to combine. Let the pasta continue to cook in the sauce for another minute or two so that it absorbs all of that great flavor. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with additional herbs or grated Parmesan, if desired.
Notes
- To prep ahead, make the sauce in advance but do not add the pasta. Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat while you boil the pasta, then add the pasta to the pot and combine with the sauce.
