When I was at the grocery store this week I picked up some Irish O'Garlic Johnsonville Sausages in honor of St. Patrick's Day even though I'm not Irish. So Saturday morning dawned and I was in the mood for something comforting, hearty and not to mention delicious. I decided that I'd make spaghetti sauce using the Irish O'Garlic Sausage and some homemade tomato sauce that my mom and I had canned this past summer. So using whatever I could find in the refrigerator and spice pantry, I put together this delicious and comforting sauce. I should also mention that it made my house smell so good!!
1 quart of homemade tomato sauce (you can also use store bought, but just make sure it's unflavored)
1 pkg of Irish O'Garlic Sausage or garlic flavored sausages
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 Tbsp of dried basil
1 Tbsp oregano
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp Pinch Perfect Parmesan Herb
1 Tbsp Pinch Perfect Roasted Garlic and Bell Pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 Tbsp of sugar
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup white win
salt and pepper to taste
Cut sausage links into bite size pieces with a serrated knife. In a large soup pan, add 1 Tbsp olive oil and add the sausage to the pan. Cook until brown on all sides and almost totally cooked through.
Take sausage out of pan and place on paper towel to drain. Drain the pan so there is only about 1 Tbsp of oil left in the bottom as well as all the brown bits. Add the onions and saute until soft, then add the garlic, basil, oregano and saute until fragrant (about 3 minutes or so). Put in the cup of wine and scrap all the bits off the bottom. Add the tomato sauce, garlic and onion powder, sugar, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, Parmesan and Herb seasoning, Roasted Garlic and Bell Pepper seasoning and add the sausage back into the pan. Simmer on low, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches the consistency you desire and then serve over pasta. Enjoy!
