Dinner Tonight: Beer-Simmered Italian Sausage Tomato Sauce Recipe
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausages
- 1 inexpensive beer
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 42 ounces canned diced tomatoes, drained if watery
- A few shakes of dried basil, oregano, or combination
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound spaghetti
- Combine the beer and sausages in a shallow pot so all of the sausages are mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15 to 20 minutes until sausages are almost cooked through (they will finish in the sauce). Remove to a cutting board to cool, slit the casing lengthwise to remove, then slice into medallions.
- In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a large pot and add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, until soft and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, seasonings, sausage, and a few spoonfuls of the sausage cooking liquid. Bring to a boil and simmer 20 to 30 minutes until the flavors combine.
- Boil the pasta until al dente and serve with Parmesan cheese.
