Ingredients
- 1 lb italian sausage
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 lb mushrooms thickly sliced
- ½ cup basil chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh oregano chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 3 cans crushed tomatoes (15 ounces per can) with sauce
- 2 large diced tomatoes
- to taste salt and pepper
- ½ pound pasta short
- 1 cup parmesan grated
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, crumble the sausage, and cook until browned - about 10 minutes. Remove the sausage to a bowl, leaving the drippings in the pot.
- Add the oil to the sausage drippings and saute the onions until tender - about 5 minutes. Increase the heat, add the mushrooms, and cook until browned and softened - about 10 more minutes. Stir in half of the basil, the oregano, and the garlic, and cook for another minute or two.
- Return the sausage to the pot, stir in the crushed tomatoes, then cover and simmer over medium heat until the sauce has thickened - about 30 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes and simmer until softened - about 15 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.
- While the tomatoes are cooking, cook your pasta to al dente - according to package directions. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to coat. Add the rest of the basil and half of the Parmesan, and toss to combine.
- Serve, and garnish with the remaining cheese.
