It's been awhile since I last posted anything. Between classes, homework, and work the recipe blog has been neglected. Hopefully this recipe makes up for the fact that it's been so long.
If you're looking for a nice, full pasta sauce, look no further. It's full of chunks of meat and veggies.
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, chopped
1 pound Italian sausage (Jimmy Dean works well)
2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Brown the sausage in a pot. Set the sausage aside when browned. Add the chopped onion, carrots, pepper, and garlic to the pot and cook in the grease left by the sausage. Cook for approximately 7-8 minutes.
Add the cans of tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, and the sausage into the pot and cook over medium heat. Here's the key: After the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. Simmering the sauce cooks off the extra water that is in the tomato sauce.
Serve over a pasta of your choice and enjoy!
Serves 6-8 people
