Prepare the Sauce

  1. 1

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Once simmering, mix in 1 cup of chopped fresh basil. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes.

    In a separate skillet, cook 1 pound of Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
