The sauce pot is to always stay on low heat. In a large heavy pot, saute onions, garlic and 2 links sausage, when onions start to become translucent, add tomato paste, keep stirring for a minute or two, then add the crushed tomatoes and sauce, and the spices. The remaining meats should be browned in a frying pan, then added to the pot.
