I’ve been making this spaghetti sauce recipe for over 25 years and my family still loves it’s flavor. With the way I prepare it, the sausage and red wine flavoring infuses with the tomato sauce to produce a remarkable flavor that cannot be matched. It was the first recipe I made for my future wife and from her first taste of my sauce, she knew she had a man who could cook and cook well. I first got the idea for this recipe from the back of a package of turkey sausage and modified it to our tastes. Try this recipe, it won’t disappoint.

Preparation:
- Place the Oil and Water in a large pot and heat over medium high heat. Add the sausages and cook until the water has boiled off and then for about another 8 minutes turning to brown all sides of the sausages.
- Turn off the heat and take out the sausages and slice the sausages to about 1 inch thickness
- Drain all but about 1 teaspoon of the grease from the pot
- Turn the stove on to high heat and brown the garlic in the left over 1 teaspoon of oil (about 1 minute).
- Add the wine and scrape all the browned bits off the bottom to deglaze the pan. Add the sausage back in and stir to coat with the wine. Add the onions and cook stirring occasionally till browned, about 6 minutes.
- Add the canned tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, basil and pepper into the pot and stir to combine. Let the sauce boil and then turn to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.
- While the sauce is simmering, begin to boil the water to cook your spaghetti. Once the water has boiled and you have cooked the spaghetti, the sauce should be ready.
