I make it often because everyone likes it and because, between the freezer and pantry, I always have the ingredients available. A quick recipe I’m happy to share with you.

Ingredients for Sausage Sauce
If you want to further reduce preparation time, you can use a frozen soffritto mix instead of fresh vegetables to clean and chop.
- Half onion
- 1 carrot (medium-small)
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 sausages (approximately 0.66 lbs)
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 7 oz tomato pulp
- 1 sprig parsley
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
Tools
- 1 Pan
- 1 Pot
Preparation of Sausage Sauce
Clean the vegetables, wash them, pat them dry with kitchen paper, and chop them finely. Of course, I didn’t use all the chopped vegetables you see in the photos below, but while I was at it, I put a small ready-to-use stock in the freezer. As I wrote before the list of ingredients, you can safely use a frozen soffritto mix as well.
Peel the sausages and crumble them with a fork.
In a large pan (that can also hold the pasta later), heat a few tablespoons of oil before adding the vegetable mixture.
Let them sauté for a moment over high heat, then add the sausages and brown everything for a few minutes.
Pour in the white wine and let it evaporate over high heat.
Then add the tomato pulp and mix well.
Lower the heat and cook for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
When cooking is complete, flavor with chopped parsley and adjust the salt if necessary (I added a pinch).
The sausage sauce is ready to use. If it dries out too much, add some pasta cooking water. Enjoy! Paola
