Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat up the olive oil in a large non-stick pan. Once the oil is hot, add the sausages and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the chopped onion, garlic, celery, carrot and chilli to the sausages and fry on a low/medium heat until the onion and celery are transparent and soft.
- 2
Add the tin of chopped tomatoes. Add some water to the empty tin and swish around to use up the excess tomato sauce and add to the sauce. Add the brown sugar, tomato puree, balsamic vinegar, chilli flakes and red wine to the sauce. Stir and then leave to simmer and reduce (no lid and stir only occasionally).
- 3
While the sauce is simmering, put a large pot of water on to boil. Add salt to season the water.
- 4
Once the water has reached boiling point, add the dried pasta and cook according to packet instructions (usually 9-11 mins).
- 5
Finely chop a couple of handfuls of basil and add to the sauce. Keep some aside to sprinkle over the final dish.
- 6
Using a spoon or ladle, take a couple of spoonfuls of the starchy water from the boiling pasta and add to the sauce. This will add liquid whilst helping to thicken the sauce. The sauce should now be a good consistency (you can check by seeing if it covers the back of a wooden spoon).
- 7
Once the pasta has cooked, drain and add to the sauce. And mix in. Serve in bowls with grated parmesan and the remaining basil sprinkled over the top. Bon appetit!

Spicy Roasted Tomato Ragu Spicy Roasted Tomato Ragu
I bought some heirloom tomatoes that were on clearance since they were ugly. Hey! That doesn't mean I can't make some rad ragu with them! I threw in some ribbon-cut pepperoni to give the dish that little bit of unctuous spice on the back-end.

Classic Ragù with Pasta Classic Ragù with Pasta
A traditional beef flavored ragù that gets its tomato base from only the paste. Adding tomatoes is not necessary, since you’re flavoring the meat with tomato, not flavoring a tomato sauce with meat. Adding 1 cup of finely chopped zucchini (optional) to the "soffritto" gives this sauce a balance of more vegetables to the meat.

Mushroom ragu pasta Mushroom ragu pasta
Full disclosure: this is Chris Morocco's recipe that he made for Bon Appetit, with a few adjustments. First, I replaced the maitake mushrooms that he used with criminis. My local supermarkets don't carry maitakes, and with the price of gas being what it is, I wasn't about to drive 20 km to get them. Also, I didn't use funky double-grooved pasta tubes, and boiled plain ol' linguine instead. I also used sour cream instead of heavy cream, mainly because I shopped from memory and remembered it incorrectly. And I didn't read the recipe beforehand, so I completely guessed on ingredient quantities. Other than those changes, it's his recipe exactly. Carbon copies, right? Kidding aside, the dish turned out really, really good. Shades of vodka sauce, but a little brighter and with mushrooms, of course. Thanks Chris!
