Directions


1In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
2 Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
3 Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
4 Add basil, parsley, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
5 Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
6 Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!

    Incredible!
    One of my favourites!
    I'm trying to reduce sodium, this one rates pretty high, so I buy no salt added tomatoes and sauce, and don't add salt.
    Another way to reduce sodium (and fat) for this is to make your own sausage with lean ground turkey, without the salt.
    I do add the wine and sugar.     - 4/15/16

    Incredible!
    I don't leave out anything, the wine and the brown sugar take out some of the acidity. I think JoMama's is quite frankly the best sauce I have ever had. I generally double and freeze the rest. Try keeping some of the sauce without the meat for use with other meals, like chicken or pizza. - 6/22/11
