Sausage Ragu with Red Wine

I haven’t posted a pasta dish in a while. So, here is one…

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 medium shallots, chopped
• 3 to 4 garlic, chopped
• 4 to 5 links chicken sausage, casing off and crumbled
• 1 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• ½ cup red wine (something you are drinking)
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• Salt
• 2 to 3 cups cooked pasta, al dente

Heat a wide frying pan with the olive oil and add the shallots and garlic. Saute on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sausage and sauté on medium high heat, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rosemary and red wine to deglaze the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute. Add the tomato sauce and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer on lower heat and cover with lid. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Check for seasonings and serve on pasta.
