Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausages

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Make the Sugo

    Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Combine Sausages and Sugo

    Return the browned sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the sausages are cooked through.

  2. 5

    Add Fresh Basil

    Stir in the fresh basil during the last 5 minutes of cooking for added flavor.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Once cooked, serve the sausages in a generous amount of sugo. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 7

    Optional Garnish

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
