Jimmy the Saints Sausage and Pepper Sauce

This is my own recipe for a fairly quick pasta sauce, meaning it doesn’t take all day to cook. Use your own judgment when it comes to adding the spices, that’s what makes it fun! Great served with angel hair pasta, fresh garlic bread, and Chianti wine.

Step: 1

In a large saucepan saute garlic, onion, and roasted peppers in 2 tablespoons olive oil until onions turn golden brown. Stir in fresh basil and blend well. Add ground black pepper, ground white pepper, ground red pepper, ground sage, onion powder, ground sage, onion powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, and salt. Stir until well blended. If desired, add MSG. Stir in chopped Italian tomatoes and both cans of tomato paste. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until paste has liquefied.

Step: 2

Once sauce has liquefied, add bay leaf, fennel seed, dried chives, bouillon cube, and ,if desired, anchovy fillets and Vermouth. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Step: 3

In a separate skillet prepare sausage by lightly browning in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Using medium heat, cover and let cook for 15 minutes. At the completion of cooking time, remove sausage from pan, and cut into 1 inch pieces. Add to sauce pot.

Step: 4

Cover sauce and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Stir occasionally and serve warm.

The most clear way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. If you’re making pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
