Tips
- If bulk Italian sausage is unavailable, buy it in casing and remove it yourself.
- Wash out the tomato can with liquid to add to the sauce.
- Cooking pasta directly in the sauce allows it to absorb all the liquid and flavor, and the pasta starch thickens the sauce.
- Optional: Add white wine or red wine instead of or in combination with chicken stock.
