Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 lb mild Italian sausage
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots diced
  • 1/2 cup celery diced
  • 2 tbs tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic mined
  • 1/2 tsp oregano dried
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbps fish sauce optional
  • parmesan cheese rind optional
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 lb lasagna noodles cooked al dente
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil diced
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium to high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. While the sausage is cooking, use a wooden spoon to break up into smaller pieces.
  • Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring continuously, for about 1 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up any fronds in the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the crushed tomatoes, fish sauce, parmesan cheese rind, heavy cream, bay leaves, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a slow simmer and cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • About 15 minutes before the sauce is finished cooking, bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil, and cook the lasagna (or noodle of your choice) according to package directions.
  • To serve stir in the basil and toss the cooked pasta in the sauce. Leave the pasta in for a minute or two so that the pasta absorbs some of the sauce.
  • Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
