Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground hot Italian Sausage
  • 1 lb spaghetti noodles
  • 28 oz of crushed San Marzanos tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup red wine we usually use Malbec but any kind will do!
  • 2 tbsp bacon grease
  • 10 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp of fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 10 fresh basil leaves torn + grated Parmigiano Reggiano for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Mince garlic, wash basil and thyme leaves and pat dry.
  • In a large sauce pot, brown sausage with bacon grease.
  • Stir in minced garlic for 30-60 seconds until just fragrant.
  • Add wine and stir for 20 seconds.
  • Add tomatoes, salt, thyme, oregano and bay leaves and stir.
  • Reduce to simmer, cover and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring frequently. This really depends on how thick of a sauce you want. The longer you cook it the more it will reduce down and become thicker.
  • About 15-20 minutes before you are ready to eat, boil spaghetti noodles until al dente in salted water. Drain.
  • Plate  spaghetti and top with sauce, Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh torn basil leaves!
  • Sauce freezes well and is best reheated on the stove but a microwave will do! Leftover sauce can be frozen for up to a year or refrigerated for 5 days.
