The recipe itself wasn't necessarily hard. The only thing I found to be time consuming is the amount of time it needs to simmer and combine. It says almost 2 hours of simmering but after about an hour I noticed that my sauce was combined and looked much thicker and hearty.
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes, undrained
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1. Take a large non stick pan and combine the sausage, olive oil , onion and garlic. Cook on medium until the sausage is browned and the onions are tender; drain grease.
- 2. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, brown sugar, italian seasoning, water, and other seasonings. Mix all these together and bring to boil.
- 3. Lower heat and simmer for 2 hours. (Not really an hour should be sufficent. :-P)
Now for pictures!!!
Here is the combination of sausage, onion and garlic:
Sorry for the horrible quality of pictures. I can't find my camera charger so I had to use my phone camera :-/ although my phone camera is 8 megapixels so they should be the same quality? oh well.
Here is my sauce after I added everything. I will warn you it can get messy :)
This is the sauce after an hour of simmering. This is right before I added it to the gnocchi.
And.... the END PRODUCT!!! I added a touch of parmesan on top :)
Glad I got to share my recipe of the week with you guys!! It's pretty easy to make homemade pasta sauce. I don't think I realized how easy making homemade stuff is. :)
