Sausage Marinara

• 1 lb of left-over Italian Sausage (poultry if fine, hot is best).
• 1 Tbs Olive Oil
• 1 Small Onion
• 2-3 Garlic Cloves, Diced
• 1 Pepper (Green or Red), I've even used left-over peppers & onions.
• 1 Large Can Whole Tomatoes
• 1 Medium Can of Diced Tomatoes
• 1 Medium Can of Tomato Paste
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 2 tsp Oregeno
• 1 tsp Basil
• 1/2 tsp Thyme
• 1/4 tsp Marjoram
• 1/4 tsp Crushed Rosemary
• 1/4 tsp Red Pepper
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Your Favorite Pasta

1. Saute garlic, onions & peppers in a medium sized Dutch Oven with Olive Oil. I like to cut the onion & pepper in larger chunks. Allow them to get soft. Dice up the sausage and toss it in. Let the mixture heat up on medium heat.
2. Add tomato products. Add 1 - 2 cans of water with the paste. Mix Well.
3. Add spices & sugar. Bring to a boil & reduce heat. Add Baking Soda (sometimes a touch more of soda is needed to take away the bitterness).
4. Let simmer for 30 - 45 minutes. Heat up some pasta and go to town.
