Sauce

Ingredients

• Two or three links of mild Italian sausage
• Two large cans of stewed tomatoes
• Two small cans of tomato paste
• Two medium-sized onions, chopped
• A couple of cloves of garlic
• A handful of crushed oregano
• A handful of chopped basil (dry will do)
• A handful of chopped rosemary
• Cut up mushrooms, chopped
• One or two bell peppers

Add spices to a couple of tablespoons of oil in a medium-hot pan. Throw in the onions, garlic and bell peppers; cook until soft. Brown the sausage in the same pot until mostly cooked. Add stewed tomatoes, hand-crushed, and tomato paste. Mushrooms go in last. Simmer for about a hundred years, or until you can't stand it any longer (4 hours minimum, 6 or 8 is ideal).

The sauce simmered for about 8 hours and was just phenomenal, but I've honestly never been able to wait that long.
